Chapter 72 (1/2)

”Hello, I'm Wei Jiefang's daughter. My father has a dinner date with the old man today Wei Sheng felt that the dialogue was like a routine, without any pro human nature.

She can not affectionately call out the name of grandfather, and the Wei family is also used to the name of the old man.

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately said, ”just a moment, please. There's a call, madam. It's Wei Sheng. ”

After waiting for a long time on the empty phone, another female voice came again, ”hello.”

The voice sounded about forty years old. It was elegant and tight. Wei Sheng knows that she is Xu Mei, the second wife of the old man. She is not much bigger than Wei Jiefang. She used to work in the old man's unit. She is not a small cadre. Now she has retired early and is at home.

His father, Wei Jiefang's biological mother, died a few years after she gave birth to him, so Xu Mei entered the house very early, probably when Wei Jiefang was 11 or 12 years old. At that time, the old man was only in his early thirties, and sun Mei was only in his early twenties. The second year after he entered the Wei family, she gave birth to a son. It has been more than 20 years and nearly 30 years, so she can be regarded as a decent mother in the Wei family.

”Hello, I'm Wei Sheng, the daughter of Wei Jiefang.”

Wei Sheng's words just came out. After a while there came a woman's faint voice, ”Chairman Wei is not at home today. You can call again tomorrow.”

Wei Sheng frowned and looked up at his smiling father. He had to open his mouth again, ”we have an appointment with the old man for dinner today.”

At the other end of the phone, a voice came a long way away: ”madam, director Zhang's call, sir.”

With this voice, Xu Mei, who was holding the phone at that end, said, ”wait a moment.” It's like leaving the microphone on the table.

Then Wei Sheng waited for a long time, listening to the occasional footsteps on the other end of the phone, far and near, but no one answered the phone again.

Wei Sheng looked up at his parents who had already been puzzled. He hung up helplessly and said, ”the old man is not at home.”

Father was obviously stunned for a while, some embarrassed way, ”may come back later, we will call again later.”

Maybe it's because they are not as good as their real parents and relatives, so Wei Jiefang doesn't like other people who can visit at will. He even thinks that it may be a bit presumptuous to visit suddenly.

After listening to Xu Meigang's reply, ”Chairman Wei is not at home,” rather than ”your grandfather is not at home”, we can see the situation and alienation of the Wei family.

Of course, this is also the other side does not look up to Wei Jiefang, the eldest son who has been fighting outside for many years but has achieved nothing.

For that family, it seems that the younger son, who is now in his 20s and has become the general manager of the steel making plant with his father's shadow after graduation, enjoys the official treatment, and then resigns and runs a machine tool factory by himself. The only real family member is the little son who has gained a lot.

Chairman Wei's youngest son, named Wei Zuyin, became a machine tool factory after he resigned from the position of general manager of the steel making plant, specializing in the production of metal cutting machine tools. Chairman Wei's enterprise list has become an important pillar of his.

At the moment, after listening to the dialogue between Wei Sheng and Wei Jiefang, Yang Lichun hesitated, ”shall we have dinner first?”

Wei Jiefang waved his hand. ”If dad doesn't have time, he'll inform us. Since it's all settled, we'll wait.”

Yang Lichun smell speech nodded, a family of three sitting in the living room waiting for the call of chairman Wei's home.

But for half an hour there was no news.

During this period, Wei Jiefang made a phone call in person, but it seemed that he had just forgotten Wei Sheng's phone number, so he did not hang up the receiver, only a busy tone came.

Wei Jiefang's mood was embarrassed, although he tried his best to hide it in front of his wife and daughter.
