"How could it be fake? They even took a video. This can't be fake, right?"

Xu Ma said angrily.

Xu Dong took the phone from his mother, looked at it very carefully for a while, and soon discovered the flaw.

"Mom, the video is definitely fake. It should be a clip taken from a movie or TV series. The content is complete nonsense."

"How did you know?"

"Mom, look here."

Xu Dong handed the phone to his mother.

Xu Ma gave an old look: "No problem!"

"Don't you find that this moon is a little strange?"

"Moon? How about the moon..."

Xu's mother immediately realized that they had not seen the sun and moon for several years since the eruption of Sulfonite Volcano. This video was indeed a fake.

"Bah, it's so shameless. How can people become like this now? How dare they lie openly? The tears I shed just now were in vain."

"Mom, let me complain about it for you."

Xu's mother sighed: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's true. Mom is old and the last thing to see is this kind of thing. At worst, I won't watch this kind of video again."

Xu Dong didn't force himself and returned the phone to his mother. Although the video was fake, the copy looked very real.

It should have been excerpted from a news report. Even if this incident did not occur in the Europa region, it definitely occurred in the Tianzhu Peninsula.

On the other side, when Lele heard that her father was back, she immediately ran out with a big belly, and Yang Lina was so frightened that she quickly supported him.

"Damn girl, slow down."

"Dad, you are finally willing to come back. I miss you so much."

"Well, I'm back."

Xu Dong smiled and nodded, and then looked at his little daughter carefully. After not seeing her for more than two months, the little cotton-padded jacket's belly felt like it was inflated, almost turning into a ball.

"Dad, if you don't come back, I'm going to give birth."

Lele took her father's arm and said coquettishly.

Xu Dong lightly knocked on the little cotton-padded jacket's head and said angrily: "Don't fool your dad. I remember it clearly in my heart. You are only eight months old after this month. It's still early before you give birth!"

"What if I give birth prematurely?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about?" Xu Ma quickly interrupted, "Please don't talk nonsense. God is very smart. What if you hear it?"

Yang Lina also glared at Lele.

Ever since she was a child, the little daughter has been the most worried about her in the family. It's all her father's fault. He has always spoiled her very much, and it's the same when she grows up.

After chatting for a while, the group of people surrounded Lele and returned to the living room. Tan Miaomiao and Captain Zhou followed behind and moved their luggage inside.

Xu Dong looked around: "Mom, where is my dad? Why isn't he at home?"

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. There is some kind of New Year's tea party in the city. I was planning to invite you, but you are not at home, so I have to ask the boss to accompany your father. The two of them left less than an hour ago."

Xu Ma replied.

"Where's Enya? Why aren't you at home?"

Xu Dong continued to ask.

"Enya's due date is within a few days. Xiaoxu accompanied her to the hospital. My eldest sister and brother-in-law were more anxious than anyone else and went to deliver food early in the morning."

Yang Lina explained casually.

Xu Dong nodded: "After lunch, let's go to the hospital together..."

"Do you have the time?"

"No one knows I'm back, so no one should bother me..."

Xu Dong was slapped in the face before he finished speaking.

Tan Miaomiao came over with her mobile phone in a hurry and reminded softly:

"Director Xu, this is Mayor Li Jianfu and Mayor Li's phone number."

This was the boss among the bosses. Xu Dong didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly took the phone and walked to the side to answer the call.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes before it ended.

Yang Lina quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "What does Mayor Li want from you?"

"Mayor Li wants to talk to me. I'm leaving soon. I may not be able to make it back in the afternoon. As for Enya, let's go tomorrow!"

Xu Dong shook his head helplessly.

Xu's mother couldn't help complaining: "I just came back and I have to go out now. I can't even take care of lunch. How can you, the chairman of the board, be busier than the big boss?"

"Mom, the big boss is much busier than me. No matter how busy I am, I can still work from home."

"Okay, stop talking and go take a shower."

Yang Lina reached out and pushed her husband.

It would also be more comfortable to take a bath.

Xu Dong glanced at his watch and shook his head: "It's too late, Mayor Li is in a hurry."

"Dad, please wait a moment. I'll squeeze a cup of juice for you and you can take it with you on the way."

Upon seeing this, Lele immediately volunteered.

"Auntie, don't move, I'll do it!"

Yang Lina quickly stopped the other party.

"Aunt Yang, let me help you!"

Tan Miaomiao took the initiative to follow him to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, while squeezing juice, Yang Lina chatted with Tan Miaomiao, all about her husband.

"Miaomiao, how is your uncle's health during this time? Is he sick?"

"Dong Xu is in good health. Except for a slight cold, everything else is fine."

Yang Lina then changed the subject: "Have you ever gone to any inappropriate place? There is no one here. Tell me the truth."

"No, no." Tan Miaomiao quickly denied, "Dr. Xu only took a few saunas in Maputo. The rest of the time he was either working or on the way to work."

"Sauna?" Yang Lina frowned.

"Aunt Yang, don't get me wrong. The sauna is in the guest house. Director Xu just wanted to relax. Captain Zhou followed him in. There are no other services inside."

Tan Miaomiao did not dare to hide these things.

After all, as the life secretary, she is the one who makes the final decision, so some things are self-evident.

"Really not?"

Yang Lina couldn't help but increase her tone.

Tan Miaomiao shook her head again: "Indeed not. Originally, President Damu of the Nisang Chamber of Commerce proposed to find two little girls for massage, but Director Xu refused. Captain Zhou also knew about it."

"Humph, the little devil is indeed not a good person."

Yang Lina was furious.

Tan Miaomiao could only keep her mouth shut, there were some things she couldn't comment on.

Yang Lina filled three bottles of juice in glass bottles, and then handed two of them to Tan Miaomiao:

"This belongs to you and Captain Zhou, take it!"

"Thank you Aunt Yang."

"You don't have to be polite to me. Your uncle has always kept a clean mind. I know this, but I am afraid that there are many tricks in the business world and it is easy to make mistakes if you are confused. You must help me keep an eye on him."

Yang Lina warned carefully.

"Aunt Yang, don't worry, I will be very energetic." Tan Miaomiao promised immediately.

…

Half an hour later, Xu Dong arrived at the best hotel in downtown Sydney. Just like in previous years, this year's tea party was still at the same place.

"Miaomiao, you don't have anything to do here. I'll give you three days off. You can spend more time with your children during the New Year's Day holiday and come back to work the day after tomorrow."

After all, this business trip lasted for more than two months.

Both in business and in private, one has to give each other a few days of leave, and so does Captain Zhou. But today is definitely not going to work, and it won't be too late to give him another break tomorrow.

"Dr. Xu..."

"Okay, stop dawdling." Xu Dong took the briefcase from the other party, and then ordered: "Old Zhou, please send Secretary Tan off, and remember to send her home."

"Yes, Director Xu."

Zhou Yinsheng nodded solemnly.

Xu Dong waved his hand, urging the two of them to leave quickly, then turned and walked towards the hotel door.

After confirming his identity, he quickly followed the waiter to the tea party.

The appearance of the richest man immediately caused a small commotion, and everyone came over to say hello.

Xu Dong dealt with it for a while, and then found his father and eldest son. The father was in the first row of the venue, and the eldest son was in the second row. The two seats happened to be one behind the other.

The organizers are also considerate.

Here is a brief explanation.

There was no food at the tea party, and the only tea they drank was chrysanthemum tea and bottled water. It was basically the same as an ordinary meeting.

Father Xu saw his youngest son and quickly patted the empty seat next to him: "Third son, your seat is here."

Mayor Li acted very quickly. Not long after he hung up the phone, he helped Xu Dong arrange his seat.

Xu Dong confirmed the name on the seat and then sat down.

He first said hello to the "neighbors" next to him. Those who could sit in the first row were usually rich or noble, and everyone was familiar with each other.

Several people were very interested in Xu Dong's trip to the Philippines. Due to limited time, Xu Dong had to promise on the spot that they would sit down and have a good chat together after the tea party was over.

Everyone happily accepted it.

Next, Xu Dong leaned into his father’s ear:

"Dad, can your old body hold up? If not, let the boss send you back first."

Based on past experience, the tea party lasted three or four hours. My father is old and in poor health, so it may be difficult to hold on to it.

"No, your dad and I are in good health!"

Father Xu shook his head.

He had not participated in such a high-level meeting for many years. How could he give up voluntarily when he could finally relive his old dream this time?

Just now everyone said "Dr. Xu", which made him seem to have returned to the most glorious period of his life.

"Well, if you can't hold it any longer, please let me know quickly. I have just opened a guest room in the hotel. We can go there and have a rest at any time."

Xu Dong warned.

"I know." Father Xu waved his hand and said impatiently, "How is the situation in the Philippines? Some time ago, news about your Philippine Chamber of Commerce was reported on TV. How did you become the president of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Well, I originally didn't want to be the one, but everyone said it had to be me. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the job first. Then when the time comes, I'll let him out."

"Third brother, why are you letting me out?"

Xu Bin couldn't help but interject.

"I don't live in the Philippines permanently, so this president is not worthy of his name." Xu Dong explained smoothly.

Father Xu did not dwell on these trivial matters: "Lao San, how much money did you invest in the Philippines this time?"

"Probably more than 200 billion!"

"Why so many?" Father Xu asked in surprise.

"Dad, you always listen to me. Of the more than 200 billion, I have only invested 10 billion at most. The other funds were raised by members of the chamber of commerce."

Xu Dong explained immediately.
