Chapter 1947 - 2033: Never Ashamed to Ask and Learn from Inferiors

Chapter 1947: Chapter 2033: Never Ashamed to Ask and Learn from Inferiors

Later he applied to live in the dorms, not for anything else, just so he could have more chances to study, often studying with Deng Xiaolu, and whenever he didn’t understand something, he’d always ask without feeling embarrassed!

In fact, Deng Xiaolu didn’t know Lan Cunxu at all. He was curious and had asked Su Xuan who he was, and Su Xuan had told him at the time that he was a friend’s buddy, Xiao Hai, and that he didn’t need to give him any special treatment!

"You know that good‑for‑nothing son of mine?"

Lan Cunxu looked at Su Xuan curiously. He actually didn’t know what had gone on between his son and Su Xuan!

"Yeah, strictly speaking, Lan Cunxu almost became my cousin‑in‑law. He used to date my wife’s cousin!"

"Cough, cough... that little bastard, all he knows is messing around with women, really useless! President Su, you don’t need to speak up for that kid, I know him too well, born lazy. They say ’wealth doesn’t last three generations,’ maybe my foundation is destined to be ruined in his hands. I originally wanted him to get a wife and give me a grandson, so that after I’m gone I could at least pass the business on to my grandson. But that kid, I don’t even know where he’s disappeared to lately, it’s like he’s completely cut off contact with me!"

He said that with his mouth, but after all, the boy was his son; deep down he still couldn’t help worrying about him.

After they finished fishing, Su Xuan drove with Lan Yanzhe toward Longteng Hotel. The main purpose was to talk business; Huaxia people like to discuss things at the dining table!

When the car was getting close to the hotel entrance, Su Xuan suddenly pulled over!

"President Lan, let me show you someone!"

As he spoke, Su Xuan pointed at the two young men standing ramrod straight at the Longteng Group entrance. Lan Yanzhe was still wondering, curious why Su Xuan had stopped the car!

But when he took one look over, his heart gave a jolt of shock, because one of those two young men was precisely that good‑for‑nothing son of his.

Winter in the Imperial Capital is absolutely freezing, and today there was a biting wind that could make your face feel like it was being cut raw out in the open air. And yet right at this moment, Lan Cunxu was standing there as straight as a doorman should, and just then a car slowly pulled up in front of the hotel. With a smile on his face, looking very professional, Lan Cunxu went up to open the door and then helped take out the suitcase. The sunshine‑bright smile on his face made tears well up in Lan Yanzhe’s eyes in that instant!

This was the first time he had seen a side of his son that no one knew about. In this bitterly cold winter, this playboy son who had made him consider giving up on him multiple times was actually able to stand in this icy wind doing the lowliest doorman job, and that sunshine‑like smile on his face was definitely not an act!

"Cunxu, have some hot water. You’ve worked hard today, in this dead of winter!"

Just then, Deng Xiaolu brought out a cup of hot water for Lan Cunxu and the other young man.

"Thank you, Manager. Manager, you go on inside, don’t worry about us. Xiao Si and I are fine, we’re young, our bodies are tough!"

Lan Cunxu took a sip of hot water, then spoke very politely to Deng Xiaolu. The former playboy air was gone, replaced by humility and openness!

Lan Cunxu put his gloves back on, then stood with Xiaosi again, skillfully greeting the steady stream of customers, with not a trace of impatience on his face!

"He... when did he start working here?"

Although Lan Cunxu had introduced quite a few clients to Su Xuan, this was still his first time coming here to eat. When he saw his own son, he was actually deeply shocked.

"Your son is basically a founding employee of my hotel. He was working here even before the hotel officially opened. That Xiaosi is actually his apprentice!"

Su Xuan said this with a smile!

For a moment, Lan Yanzhe didn’t even know what to say. Tears swam in his eyes. All this time his son hadn’t contacted the family. Before, he would ask him for money every few days, and lately he had no idea what this son was doing. Now he finally knew that he’d already come to work at Su Xuan’s hotel.

This was something he hadn’t dared imagine before! Seeing his son able to endure hardship, standing in the cold wind working, he actually felt very reassured. The reason Lan Yanzhe had always thought this son was a piece of trash before was because to him, the boy had always been like mud that couldn’t stick to a wall, never sticking with anything for more than three minutes, always carrying himself with his nose in the air!

"President Lan, actually Lan Cunxu isn’t someone who can’t be taught at all, it’s just that he’d never really found the right direction before!"

Su Xuan said softly.

"Thank you, Mr. Su!"

Lan Yanzhe said, deeply grateful. He hadn’t expected Su Xuan to be able to straighten his son out this well; it was beyond anything he’d imagined!

"No need to be so polite!"

Su Xuan shrugged, then drove slowly up to the hotel entrance. When Lan Cunxu saw Su Xuan’s car, of course he recognized it. Delighted, he walked over to the car, and Su Xuan rolled the window down and said with a smile,

"Brat, can you handle it? Want me to switch you to another position?"

"It’s fine. You told me before, if I can’t even handle this bit of hardship, then I’ll never amount to anything. To tell you the truth, big brother, I used to think making money was easy. But now that I think about it, it really wasn’t easy for the old man to make his money. When I think about that, I feel I really owe him."

Looking at Su Xuan, Lan Cunxu spoke with a face full of gratitude. And right then he saw Shui Lingling sitting in the front passenger seat, and he said with a mischievous grin,

"Big brother, new wife?"

"Get lost, what new wife, don’t talk nonsense!"

Su Xuan rubbed his nose, a bit embarrassed!

"Hehe, look at you getting all shy. Oh right, big brother, can you help me with something later?"

At this point, Lan Cunxu still hadn’t noticed there was someone sitting in the back seat of Su Xuan’s car. You could only say the tint on this luxury car was too good—you couldn’t see inside at all. As he spoke, Lan Cunxu helped guide Su Xuan into a parking space.

"What do you need? Out of money?"

Su Xuan asked curiously!

"No, I haven’t borrowed any money now. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t gamble anymore. If I gamble again, I’ll slit my own throat. Otherwise, if the old man finds out, he’ll be pissed to death. You’re the righteous one, helping me sort out such a big mess, and the old man still doesn’t know a thing!"

Previously, Lan Cunxu had actually been worried that Su Xuan would tell his father about it, but it turned out Su Xuan had never mentioned it!

"Cough, cough... let’s not bring that up. What do you actually want from me?"

Su Xuan felt awkward, thinking, your dad’s sitting right behind me!

"Oh, it’s like this. It’s Christmas in a couple of days. I used the money I earned to buy a few pieces of clothing for the old man and my mom. But I haven’t contacted them in a long time, and I don’t even know where they are now. See if you can help me ask where they’ll be spending Christmas, and I’ll have the courier send the gifts over."
