Chapter 1361 Who are you calling a jerk?!

He Chen was touched by Qiao Weidong's thoughtfulness. Although his motivation might be because he was a doting father, He Chen still felt obligated to accept his kindness.

However, he couldn't tell Qiao Weidong his true confidence.

So he raised his glass to Qiao Weidong, giving him some positive feedback, before saying, "Uncle Qiao, don't worry, do what you can! Do what you can to make things big! If you can do this big thing well, great; if not, so be it. I won't force you."

So I have absolutely no burden!
You don't need to feel any burden at all.

Even if Yingzi were to become destitute one day, she wouldn't starve us; in fact, she would protect us from the elements.

"I don't want to be a burden to Yingzi, and you're not allowed to be a burden to Yingzi either!" Although Qiao Weidong expressed his disdain and refusal, he couldn't help but smile when he thought about his daughter's future success and how she would become even more successful.

Let alone the future, even now, his status as a mere businessman may not be as socially valuable as his beloved daughter.

When Qiao Yingzi was admitted to university, he got very drunk and shouted that his Qiao family had finally produced a scholar after many generations, and a first-rate scholar at that.

Now that his daughter has surpassed him, he is not too proud. When he talks about his beloved daughter with other bosses of similar or even higher levels, he can command respect.

Of course, he knew that people could be treacherous, and that his precious daughter needed to be more and more low-key in the future, so he simply wouldn't show off much.

Talking about this with He Chen, my prospective son-in-law, makes me feel completely at ease.

When we talk, we have to talk at length about how wonderful my precious daughter is!

"Uncle Qiao, let's get back to what you're worried about!" Seeing that he had listened to him somewhat and reduced the possibility of future strategic misjudgments caused by worrying about him, He Chen smiled and brought up the root of the conversation.

"You're right. I do need a trustworthy helper with both good character and ability to help me with my daily chores."

But there's really no rush!
I have time to take my time and look around.

Wu and Wei are indeed good, but they are not irreplaceable.

If it really doesn't work out, I'll just ask Uncle Qiao to take on more of the work and help me out. Uncle Qiao is more capable than him and more worthy of my trust.
I could tell from the beginning that he might not be able to handle women and relationships well, and that he was prone to problems.

He's emotionally unstable now, and even you, Uncle Qiao, think you might have misjudged him.

I think there are two possibilities.

"What two possibilities?" Qiao Weidong's expression relaxed even more after hearing He Chen's words, and he even looked forward to it.

Yup!

Wu Wei is quite capable, but Qiao Weidong is no less so!

Although he is not as professional as Wu Wei in managing this specific niche, when it comes to the major area of ​​financial investment, he is much better than Wu Wei, who relies more on others to work for them.

Moreover, in terms of character, Wu Wei, as the prospective father-in-law who wholeheartedly wanted to hand over the family business to He Chen, was incomparable to him.

The key issue is that he has always wanted to hand over his family business to He Chen and his family, but neither his daughter nor his prospective son-in-law cares about it, which hurts him deeply. As a doting father, he can only watch helplessly as his precious daughter indulges He Chen, allowing him to live a carefree and dissolute life. He can't and shouldn't interfere, otherwise his daughter will be the first to get angry with him.

In this situation, if he could enter He Chen's core business as a helper, even if it meant integrating his family business into it right now, he would be willing!
As he just said, financial investment is the heart of He Chen's business. His help there is to help his precious daughter secure a position!
"The first possibility is that there have been setbacks in the relationship, or that it is about to face changes," He Chen analyzed.

"A person like Wu Wei may have suffered emotional setbacks in the past, most likely because he was poor. Over the years, he has been working hard to improve his career and making money like crazy to improve himself, all in order to one day regain his lost love and prove himself!"

This process could take five or even ten years!
When he achieves success and financial freedom, he looks back and realizes that his youth has passed. At this point, what he values ​​most is the failure of that time, and he wants to make up for the regrets of that time!

So no matter what his current situation is like, with countless young and beautiful women to choose from, he just can't let go of his resentment and tries to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend, who is actually old and faded.

To outsiders, it seemed like he had lost his mind.

When others tried to persuade or remind him, he explained it with self-pity, as if others couldn't understand his deep feelings.

But don't they realize that the reason the relationship broke down back then wasn't because of him, but because the other person was either materialistic or simply had a terrible personality that made them unbearable?

So much time had passed that his memory of the pain and torment had become hazy; all he remembered was the lingering resentment of wanting to mend the broken relationship.

"Who are you calling a jerk?!" Qiao Weidong listened attentively at first, but the more he listened, the more something felt off. He had a strong sense of déjà vu. Was the 'he' He Chen was referring to Wu Wei, or Qiao Weidong himself?

Realizing what was happening, his face darkened, and he glared at He Chen, seriously suspecting that He Chen was making veiled accusations.

Back then, he and Qiao Yingzi's mother, Song Qian, were scolded by He Chen, who said that he was a billionaire and had a girlfriend, Xiao Meng, who was more than ten years younger than him and practiced yoga. He wondered how much outsiders envied him.

However, under the pretext of helping his daughter with her college entrance exams, he kept contacting his ex-wife, who treated him like a thief and frequently scolded and insulted him. He Chen immediately saw through his intention to reconcile.

Moreover, he abandoned his young, beautiful, and skilled girlfriend to reunite with his middle-aged, no-longer-youthful, and short-tempered ex-wife who now treats him like a son.

Isn't this what everyone thinks is someone who's lost their mind and can't think straight?

Unfortunately, he was unaware of this at the time, thinking that he was doing the right thing, that it was for his daughter Yingzi, and that he had a deeper affection for his ex-wife, but that was not the case at all.

If they really wanted to do this for Yingzi, or if the original couple had a deep bond, they should have made an effort many years ago. There was no way they would have waited until their daughter's college entrance exam year.

After experiencing a series of stimulating events and being scolded awake by He Chen, he finally gave up this bizarre act that he now finds somewhat frightening.

Especially now that his precious daughter has completely escaped her mother's confinement, if he hadn't been woken up by He Chen's scolding and rushed in headfirst, he would truly be the only one left locked up in that soundproof cell by Song Qian, singing "Tears Behind Bars," even though he did sing it very well, very professionally...

But he really didn't want to sing!
"Uncle Qiao, I'm talking about Wu Wei! Please don't take it personally! Any resemblance is purely coincidental!" He Chen denied with a smile, but his attempt to cover up his true feelings still made Qiao Weidong's lips twitch.

However, Qiao Weidong could understand it after thinking about it.

Birds of a feather flock together.

It's quite normal that he and Wu Wei have such a good relationship; it's hard to say that it's not because they share similar experiences and personalities, and have a sense of déjà vu.
