Chapter 68 If I Don’t Enjoy Myself Before I Die, What Else Can I Do?
Chen Shaohua was stunned.
He just said it casually, how could it come true?
"...Shaojie, are you kidding?"
He stared intently at his third brother.
"Second brother, I'm sick... ALS!"
Chen Shaojie stood up, opened a cabinet, took out a box of cigars, handed one to Chen Shaohua, and then picked up one himself.
The tool was on the table, and Chen Shaohua didn't hesitate to pick it up and start trimming the cigar.
"You should know that there is no cure for this disease. There is no cure until now..."
Chen Shaojie said with a relaxed expression.
Chen Shaohua threw the cigar cutter to him, "When did you find it?"
"It happened a month ago." Chen Shaojie also started trimming his cigar.
"So you see, I used to be reluctant to smoke cigars, but now I only buy them if I keep them for a long time. I buy more than a dozen boxes at a time."
"Second brother, except for Qi Yang, there is no one I have ever felt sorry for in my life.
If I don't enjoy it before I die, what else am I going to do? "
Chen Shaohua smoked his cigar silently until the mellow fragrance from his mouth reached his brain.
"Does Qi Yang know?"
"I didn't tell her, but I won't be able to hide this until next year at most.
If she hadn't stayed abroad often, she would have known about it. "
Chen Shaojie lit his cigar and began to enjoy it slowly.
Chen Shaojie asked: "Why don't you seem to be afraid at all?"
"Afraid. But what's the use of being afraid?
I wanted to contact you last month to ask you and my second sister-in-law to come back.
It’s just that this matter needs to be approved by my father.
Besides, I didn’t tell my eldest brother and fourth sister.
I'd better keep this matter a secret for now. I won't withdraw completely until you can take over the matter smoothly.
When the time comes, I will go to Europe with Qi Yang and come back before I die.
No matter what, the fallen leaves must return to their roots. "
Chen Shaojie looked safe and secure, which made Chen Shaohua feel a little uncomfortable.
"You can't hide this.
The Chen family has such a big business, can your son take over it? "
Chen Shaojie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Second brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years.
I know very well that you are much stronger than me.
If it weren't for our father, you wouldn't have left the capital.
Dad has been retired for many years.
Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else in this Fang family who can be the Poseidon Needle.
Moreover, if the Chen family falls, both the eldest brother and the fourth sister will be implicated.
This is……"
"A single move can affect the whole body?" Chen Shaohua asked, "Have you not trained a successor for so many years?
There is no one in such a big Chen family? "
There was an angry look on his face.
Chen Shaojie chuckled, "Eldest brother is in a high position now.
His children are either abroad or pursuing official careers like him.
The fourth sister is also in the official career, her husband is a soldier, and their children are not suitable.
The only ones who can be candidates are your children and mine. "
Chen Shaohua exhaled a puff of smoke, stared at the smoke slowly dissipating under the light, and said slowly:
“I can help you raise your five children.
Choose one when the time comes.
what do you think? "
He knew his brother's temperament.
He also knew that if he hadn't had no choice, he wouldn't have said this.
If he hadn't happened to be coming to the capital, he would have probably waited a while longer before contacting him.
Chen Shuhui is still young and can only choose from himself or his nephew no matter what.
"When will your boss come back?" he asked.
Chen Shaojie shook his head, "Unless I tell him that I'm going to die, he probably won't come back.
The last time I was told that I wanted to be naturalized, I was so angry. "
Chen Shaohua sighed secretly, thought for a while and then asked: "If Xiao Zheng doesn't come back, what about your second child? Is he in his third year of high school or college?"
"Sophomore year at Beijing University.
He is in the same school as Ping An, but he also wants to study abroad. I guess I will be dead by the time they come back from their studies.
Therefore, someone must connect the gap in the middle.
Second brother...come back.
If the Chen family falls, it will affect the fate of dozens or hundreds of people, second brother! "
Chen Shaohua really has a headache now.
He didn't want to come back to the capital.
How simple life is in Yuncheng!
Although I am a bit busy, at least I am happy.
Simple and happy.
This is the life he wanted!
But now, something like this happened to his third brother, and he was hesitant to come back.
"I can't promise you now!
If you really get that disease, I can come back and help you train a successor.
But I definitely can't do it myself.
I don’t like life in the capital, I don’t like anything. "
Chen Shaojie waved his hand, "It's not urgent, second brother. This matter is not urgent."
He smiled bitterly, "There's no point in rushing.
Until now, very few people with ALS have survived beyond five years.
Apart from Mr. Hawking's reputation, there shouldn't be many cases.
I just came back from country M last week, and there is basically nothing I can do now. "
Chen Shaohua raised his head and looked at him, "Then you haven't seen Xiao Zheng?
He happens to be in country M, you should tell him..."
Chen Shaojie sighed: "Second brother, Xiaozheng has no interest in managing the family business.
He just wants to be an architect. This is his dream since he was a child.
Anyway, our family is different from other families. Whoever has the ability will do it.
The Chen family is not the property of any one person, but of all the Chen family members..."
Chen Shaohua raised his hand to stop him from continuing to speak.
"I don't know much about ALS, I just know that this disease cannot be cured.
I suggest you tell Qi Yang. You will have to tell this sooner or later.
In addition to not letting others and the people below know, the family should still tell everyone.
Otherwise, there may be trouble at that time. "
Chen Shaojie said: "I have thought about it.
You are the first to know about this.
Tomorrow I will go back to the old house with you and tell Dad.
Then you, sister-in-law and Huihui, the child, come back.
So many years have passed, do you think Dad feels good?
He just can't let go of his face.
In the end, you should be the head of the family, not a waste like me. "
Chen Shaohua glanced at him and said: "Stop talking nonsense.
Although I haven't been to Beijing for 20 years, at least I know about the Chen family.
If I were here, I wouldn't be able to do as well as you did in the past 20 years.
"It's a pity that you didn't come back every time I asked you to come back in the past 20 years.
Do you still have a problem with Dad?
He's over 70 years old!"
"That's not the case. I'm quite happy in Yuncheng.
Life is simple, there are not so many relationships to consider, no need to worry about stock prices, and even no need to go to social events.
Qingqing, Ping'an, and my daughter are living a very happy life.
Thinking of Liu Qing and Chen Shuhui, he couldn't help but smile.
Chen Shaojie laughed, "That's just right.
I've worked hard for this family for 20 years, but you've lived a happy life for 20 years.
Now you should also give something for this family!"
He slapped the table, "Tomorrow I'll tell Dad that you two reconcile, and then you have a year to control the Chen family!
Give me two years to go out and have a look, and spend a few days in comfort..."
