Chapter 978
In the corridor, Ma Ling, who was eavesdropping while biting an apple, was about to jump up when she heard this, when someone patted her shoulder, she was so frightened that she almost screamed, she patted her chest and looked back, her mother was standing behind her .
Heidi shook her head at her.
Upstairs, when he heard John's sneer, Vincent, who was playing with building blocks, stopped and looked at him seriously, "Grandpa, are you laughing like a bad guy?"
Feng Yiping silently praised the little guy in his heart, he deserves to be my son! Knowing assists at such a young age.
"That's right, grandpa saw that you were playing too seriously, so he didn't even look at us, and wanted to attract your attention," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "Go on and play, but don't forget to interact with grandpa more,"
"Yes, you're having fun," John managed to force out a smile, and when Vincent turned his head, his face was covered with black lines.
"John, if it's what you said, I also think there is a problem here. Indeed, professionals should be able to find out these things," Feng Yiping pondered for a while.
"However, the water source tree has roots, why this is so, there must be a reason, I will ask now," he dialed Mike's phone.
"Feng, when are you coming back?" As soon as the call was connected, Mike asked Feng Yiping directly without asking anything.
"What's wrong?" Is there something urgent?
"Von, you have to give Zengstrom a call and tell them to just roll out the next version, you know, we promote skype installed by users, and now we can say that we have made all the mistakes that should be made, many Users are very dissatisfied, we get too many complaints,"
"Because of skype, user satisfaction with us has dropped significantly recently, and everyone wants to uninstall it,"
It turned out to be this, "Mike, we have to understand that any software, no matter how good it is, will have some minor problems in its first release. You see, even Microsoft's operating system is not the same?"
"Looking at it from another perspective, it is also a good thing that there are many complaints, which means that there are many users who are interested in this software, don't you think?"
"Then think about it, after it stabilizes, won't it improve the satisfaction of our users?"
"We still need to promote it. This is also the best way to check the problems of this software, but we must do a good job of persuasion,"
"I know Feng, in the long run, but the trouble we've had in the near term...,"
Mike should be shaking his head over there, "Well, I do everyone's job,"
"By the way, what do you want from me?" He finally remembered now that Feng Yiping made the call.
"It's like this," Feng Yiping gave a general introduction, put the phone on the table and pressed the speakerphone, "Why didn't the person you were looking for know that Ma Ling was pregnant at the time? Did he lie to us?"
"This," Mike smiled wryly over there, "He actually knows it, and I know it too. He sent me some photos of Ma Ling wearing maternity clothes and basking in the sun in the backyard at home,"
"He also found out that Ma Ling was pregnant for nearly half a year at that time,"
"It's just that I didn't know that Ma Ling flew to China to see you before the Spring Festival of that year. I thought that the last time you met her was in Hollywood, and the time was wrong."
"So, I thought she had another boyfriend at the time, and that was exactly the reason why she cut off contact with you. In order not to make you sad, I made my own claim and concealed the news, saying that I couldn't find her,"
"It was only later that I found out what happened. At that time, you had found Ma Ling and Vincent by yourself. I have never had the nerve to talk about it. Feng, I'm sorry,"
"It's okay," Feng Yiping hung up the phone.
Ma Ling went to China to watch his affairs before the Spring Festival in 2001, and Feng Yiping naturally didn't make a fuss.
And he and Ma Ling relived the love dream at the Four Seasons Hotel in Hollywood, which happened in October 2000. If counted from then, the time of Ma Ling's pregnancy is obviously not right.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Mike to do so on his own initiative.
Generally speaking, Mike's speculation is also tenable. Ma Ling and Feng Yiping have only gone from a one-night stand to a few-night stand. After Feng Yiping returned to China, Ma Ling quickly got a new boyfriend. Be careful about getting pregnant, so I want to say goodbye to the past completely, and take the initiative to cut off contact with people like Feng Yiping.
But Feng Yiping still seems to have a bit of obsession with her, so why should he let him know such a painful fact?
John opened his mouth a few times at this moment, but finally had nothing to say.
Yes, just like what Feng Yiping said, although he still can't forgive, he really doesn't have the ability to change the status quo without changing it.
Let him break up with his girlfriend who has now given birth to a daughter, and be responsible for his daughter? This is too selfish, and he really can't say anything that is inhumane.
"Alas," he shook his head and sighed. Speaking of it, they are parents who are also responsible for this. They have raised their daughter to be a strong character since she was a child.
If she had told Feng Yiping as soon as she was sure she was pregnant, it would not be the current ending.
Of course, he would definitely not forgive Feng Yiping for this reason, at most he just understood a little bit.
"So, what are you going to do with Ma Ling and the child?" John looked at Feng Yiping, "Are you planning to continue like this? Marty and I will not agree. We hope that Ma Ling can form a normal family. lead a normal life,"
"One thing I can assure you and Heidi is that although I may not be able to give Ma Ling and Vincent a complete family, I have the ability and willingness to ensure that they can live a relaxed and happy life,"
"Although I didn't say it in front of Ma Ling, I love her and I love Vincent, and I am willing to pay for them,"
"If Ma Ling meets someone who makes my heart move in the future, I promise that I will never stop her from pursuing her own happy life. I will still care about them and take care of them as always. go,"
Feng Yiping said this beautifully.
It's just that he knows that the possibility of this happening is relatively small. The so-called sea is too difficult for water, except that Wushan is not a cloud. He really doesn't believe that after he has himself, Ma Ling will still look at other guys.
However, John is still very satisfied with his statement like this, and he can't guarantee that he can achieve Feng Yiping's situation after changing places.
And as a businessman, he still believed that Feng Yiping's words were not just nonsense, and he didn't want him to make such a big career at such a young age.
At the same time, as both a man and a businessman, he also understands that with Feng Yiping's current achievements and status, he will not lack women, and there are many beautiful women.
For Ma Ling, he was so caring before and appointed a private detective to investigate her whereabouts, which shows that he really has her in his heart.
John, who knew the whole story, felt a little better now, seeing that Feng Yiping wasn't all awkward, but he still didn't give him a good look.
"Have you told your family about Ma Ling and Vincent?"
"When my first company went public last year, Ma Ling took Vincent to New York and met my grandfather,"
"My parents don't know yet, I'm still looking for a suitable opportunity, but don't worry, they will definitely like Vincent very much after they know about it,"
"Why don't you tell them now?" John asked.
"I don't want to embarrass and worry them, because my parents must also want me to be responsible for Marling and Vincent,"
Looking at the oriental young man in front of him, John finally felt that he was somewhat pleasing to the eye.
Although as a father, he is very dissatisfied with the current situation, but as a man, he can somewhat understand Feng Yiping's difficulties.
"Let's have a sip of tea," he added tea to Feng Yiping unexpectedly, "No matter what, I still hope you can spend more time with Vincent, my grandson deserves a perfect childhood,"
"Yes, I think so too, I will work hard."
…………
In the corridor, Heidi looked at her daughter with red eye circles and felt a little sad. Her daughter was only one step away from a happy life.
"Hollywood, New York? How much are you hiding from us?"
"Mom," Ma Ling gave her a blank look.
"Okay, okay, I don't ask, you go to touch up your makeup, and I will ask them to eat,"
…………
After taking the initiative to open up and talk so much, at lunch, John finally stopped being indifferent to Feng Yiping, and he was able to clink glasses with him, and occasionally showed a smiling face.
Seeing this gratifying change, both Heidi and Ma Ling are very happy.
With little pistachio Vincent in the middle, the atmosphere of this family dinner was pretty good.
"Feng, I'd like to toast you," Heidi raised her glass suddenly. "John has that temper. In fact, he also wants to thank you." She glanced at her husband.
Hearing what she said, John also raised his glass, "Your operations have been good the last few times, besides, thank you,"
"No, it should be me who wants to thank you for your trust," Feng Yiping said, "There are not many people who believe in me unconditionally like you,"
After John toasted for a while, he didn't take any further action, but it was very useful to hear Feng Yiping's words. This kid can at least chat!
"Of course I have to thank you," Heidi said. "In terms of stocks, we have been holding them for a long time before, and the returns are average. Speaking of which, the recent transactions related to you are our return on investment over the years. the highest several times,"
"If it is a long-term holding, I suggest that you can still concentrate your funds on some high-tech companies. Apple is a good choice. I am also optimistic about Amazon. There are also Oracle and its competitor SAP. Of course, there are Google, which is preparing to go public, will also be a good choice in the future.”
Feng Yiping believes that they are very interested in hearing his analysis on this aspect.
"From a global perspective, some high-tech companies that will be listed in China in the future are also worthy of long-term investment,"
"What about Microsoft, don't you like it?" John couldn't help asking.
"We own a lot of Microsoft stock," Heidi added.
"When did you buy it?" Feng Yiping asked.
"Mostly the mid-90s,"
"The harvest so far is not bad, but I still feel that it is not too economical to hold Microsoft's stock for a long time in the future."
Microsoft's current stock price is close to 28 US dollars, but when Feng Yiping was reborn, it was less than 50 US dollars, which meant that the increase was very limited.
But for investors who bought Microsoft shares in the early days, the return is still very good, because Microsoft has carried out many stock splits, and most of them are 10 shares for 10 shares, and a few times are 10 shares for 5 shares, bought in the 1990s One share has now become at least a dozen shares.
"Thank you for your opinion. I think we can make a good plan. Apple's is really good." The power of Ma Ling's example, which has a high return on investing in Apple, seems good.
…………
To eat and play with desserts, to Feng Yiping's surprise, the lunch seemed not over yet, Heidi brought two boxes and put them on the table solemnly, Feng Yiping immediately noticed that Ma Ling was a little excited.
"This is one of the tableware left by your grandparents," Heidi said, opening the first box, which contained a set of silver tableware, "Both John and I think it's time to give you a set." ,"
"And this," Heidi opened the smaller box, and Feng Yiping saw that there were all kinds of cards filled with words, "This is your great-grandmother's, grandmother's recipe, of course, and mine, we hope You can pass it on,"
"Mom," Ma Ling's voice was choked with sobs.
Feng Yiping, who had a little understanding of this situation, realized that he was witnessing a inheritance in a Western family.
In a country without nobles like the United States, they don’t have things decorated with family crests to pass on. Except for some jewelry, the blood inheritance of most families is generally related to the kitchen, such as tableware, such as the recipes of the elders, which is actually more real Some.
Feng Yiping patted Ma Ling on the shoulder and held her hand. Heidi and John chose to give these things to Ma Ling at this time, in fact, to a certain extent, they admitted her relationship with Feng Yiping.
Tableware and recipes are actually equivalent to dowry in the traditional sense.
…………
In Shanghai, in the clubhouse, Ma Wenzhe wanted to show off in front of his companions, but he didn't expect to hear Feng Yiping's domineering warning. He felt his face was lost for the second time today.
Shaking his head, looking at those eyes with different expressions in the banquet, he slapped the table hard, "Do you think I'm scared?"
