Liu Handong found this residential building from the 1970s according to the address. It was a place where scholars gathered together, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, green trees shading, quiet and warm, and no randomly parked vehicles, littered debris, scurrying cats and dogs, or dancing
Auntie.
Professor Shao's home was on the second floor. When he heard a knock on the door, he opened the door and asked Liu Handong to come in and sit down without slippers. The house was quite large, with three bedrooms and one living room, and there were books everywhere, but it was a little deserted. Professor Shao took the refrigerator
He gave Liu Handong a drink to drink: "Drink Coca-Cola. No one drinks it after two years. My daughter and grandson are both in the United States, and I am the only one at home."
Liu Handong thought that the old man was very pitiful, as his children and grandchildren were not around, so he asked him: "Has Professor Shao eaten? I'll treat you."
Professor Shao was not polite. He threw down his cattail leaf fan, changed into a short-sleeved coat, and took the key: "I know a good dumpling restaurant."
When they came to the dumpling restaurant, they ordered a pound of dumplings, four dishes, and two bottles of beer. The two of them drank from each other. Liu Handong said, "The book you always wrote is very nice, but some of the details are different from what my grandfather said."
."
Professor Shao was very interested: "What is your grandfather's name?"
Liu Handong said: "My grandfather is Liu Xiaoyong, the uprising general of the First Corps of the Jiangdong Traffic Police Corps of the Kuomintang in your book."
Professor Shao wondered: "You are Liu Xiaoyong's grandson. No wonder you always look familiar. I hugged you when you were a child."
It turns out that Professor Shao had interviewed Liu Xiaoyong in his early years, and the two had been friends for years, after all, there was still a few decades of age difference between them.
"Since you are Lao Liu's grandson, please call me uncle. What's the reason for your anger? What happened to your child?" Professor Shao peeled two cloves of garlic and began to ask in detail.
Liu Handong recounted that he had participated in battles in the army and killed separatists. After returning, he was in danger many times and had countless lives on his hands.
Professor Shao pondered for a moment and said: "You are the reincarnation of the evil star of heaven. It is not good to continue like this. You must read more to resolve the hostility in your body."
Liu Handong was speechless. Damn, is this what the professor said? He is almost a magician. He answered with difficulty: "I am very busy with work and have no time to study systematically. I only went to college for one year. Now I have lost all the basic knowledge and I can't keep up."
homework."
Professor Shao said: "Since you have taken the college entrance examination, it will be easier. You can go to graduate school with me."
Liu Handong became more and more suspicious of the professor's identity. He couldn't be a boilermaker at Jiangsu University. He didn't even graduate from a bachelor's degree, so how could he go to graduate school?
Professor Shao said: "Aren't you in your first year at Jiangsu University? According to national policies, you can continue to study. Of course, there are other restrictions. This is not a problem. As long as you are willing to study, I can help you."
you."
People had already talked about this, so what else could Liu Handong say? He promised to go through the procedures and re-enter the campus when school started.
After dinner, Liu Handong paid the bill and went to Professor Shao's house to borrow some books and read them back. He read differently from others. Others read to increase their knowledge and cultivation, while he read to resolve anger. Professor Shao threatened him.
Liu Handong certainly didn't believe this feudal and superstitious argument that if he didn't get rid of his anger, his life would be shortened. However, it was also for his own good, so he didn't refute it.
After bidding farewell to Professor Shao, Liu Handong returned to his home in Huanghua Community. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. A group of aunts were dancing in the square in the community square. The loudspeakers played the most dazzling ethnic style. Opposite them were a group of people wearing gray military uniforms and wearing octagonal anise.
The old man in the hat was singing revolutionary songs, and both sides turned the music to the maximum, which made the nearby residents' eardrums hurt, and they dared not speak out in anger.
Liu Handong was furious. Isn't this disturbing the people? According to his temper, he had to take out the stick and smash the audio amplifiers of the uncles and aunts. But when he got closer, he couldn't afford to offend either party.
The deputy leader of the square dance was none other than his mother-in-law, Wang Yulan, and the conductor of the red song was Huo Lei Huoying's father, Huo Lianhe. These were all elders, so Liu Handong could only withdraw in despair, go upstairs and close the window, turning a deaf ear.
There was a commotion below for a long time, but in the end the Red Singing Troupe lost to the square dance and left angrily, so the small square was filled with agricultural heavy metal. After a while, Ma Ling came home from get off work, and Liu Handong reported to her the recent work situation, saying
Jinzun's business is very good, with monthly dividends of tens of thousands. Why don't you come down and stop working, and come with me to the store to help.
Ma Ling said that's not possible. My parents would definitely disagree and they would wait until they get married to consider changing careers.
Liu Handong said when to get married. It has been delayed for a long time. Now if you want a house or a car, you can buy it at any time. What are you waiting for?
Ma Ling was about to speak but stopped.
"It's okay, tell me, is there anything else I can't handle?" Liu Handong said.
"My parents said that we can't marry our daughter to a prisoner. At least we can wait until your probation expires."
Liu Handong fell silent. Although he usually pretended to be nonchalant and even a little proud, these three years of probation weighed on his heart like a rock. He was unable to engage in normal work. He was criticized by others and made his family unable to hold their heads up.
And he still has a handle in other people's hands. Don't look at Xu Gongtie and he are brothers now. There is no contradiction. As long as he does something extraordinary, he will be held accountable immediately. If he commits a crime during probation, the crime will be increased. How do you want to deal with yourself?
All are established.
The Provincial High Court's decision is final and cannot be overturned no matter what. It seems that we can only wait three years before getting married.
Liu Handong went to the balcony to smoke and think about his next development. Whether he was getting salary as a driver at Qingshi Hi-tech or sharing dividends at Jinzun, he relied on the capital he had earned by daring to fight hard and risking his life. These so-called achievements were made by Tie Zha.
In the eyes of the neighbors on the street, he may be unattainable, but in the eyes of people like Song Jianfeng, Shen Hongyi, Xia Qingshi, An Xin, and even She Xiaoqing, he is basically unworthy and is at best a useful gangster.
I recall how proud my mother was when I was admitted to Kodong University with high scores. But ten years later, the favored son of heaven has turned into a gangster brother. This is not the result I want!
Liu Handong snuffed out his cigarette. He decided that he could not let himself fall. This kind of black and gray life was not his ideal, but he was forced to this point by the cruel reality.
With probation on my back, transformation is difficult. The biggest opportunity at the moment is the European Garden. After the completion of this project, I will have hundreds of millions of wealth and become famous. However, I passed by there yesterday and the construction site has not changed. It seems that Brother Qi is still working on it.
, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Qi Qingyu’s number to inquire about the progress. Qi Qingyu told him that things were more difficult than expected. There were roadblocks everywhere. The biggest obstacle was the lack of funds. Although he had collected some debts, he still owed money to the bank.
Due to the huge debts and various legal disputes, construction could not be started, let alone pre-sales.
Liu Handong asked him to meet over the weekend for a detailed discussion. On Saturday afternoon, Qi Qingyu came to the farm restaurant as scheduled, followed by several people with dark and rough skin. At first glance, they were engaged in construction. Except for a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with tender skin and tender flesh,
Qi Qingyu said that this is my son, Qi Lin, driving with me as the driver.
Then he said to his son: "This is Uncle Liu, whom I often mention to you. Call someone."
The young man politely called Uncle Liu and stood aside, with fear in his eyes.
Liu Handong said: "Brother Qi, didn't you say you had a daughter? Why did you turn out to be a son again?"
Qi Qingyu said: "I have children. People in the country are not as strict about family planning as you are in the city. Back then, I was a birth guerrilla. I traveled all over the world with my children, working on construction and giving birth to children at the same time. This is a big deal.
There is a daughter on top and two little boys on the bottom."
Everyone sat down, ordered food, opened the wine, exchanged greetings, and made toasts. After three drinks, Qi Qingyu introduced the situation in detail. Although the biggest problems have been solved, the king of hell is very difficult to deal with. The Omi City Intermediate People's Court
Lawsuits, seals from the Construction Bureau, and of course the biggest problem is funding. The amount of the project is too large and requires huge capital investment. The money collected from Yanhuang Overseas Construction Corporation cannot fill this bottomless pit.
"We still have to attract investment." Qi Qingyu lit up a cigarette and said. His hair was almost completely white, which showed the hard work he put in during this period.
Liu Handong thought for a while and realized that he knew quite a few wealthy people, but Qingshi High-tech had too much money to spend. He went back to communicate with Xia Qingshi and maybe he could get investment. When he mentioned this idea, Qi Qingyu was very happy:
"That's great. I'll provide you with any materials you need."
"Don't rush this matter. My opinion is to take action, pull the team into the construction site, remove the weeds, repair the walls, and paint slogans to make it look presentable. Otherwise, you will end up like a ghost town. How will you bring customers?"
Go and see.”
Liu Handong's opinion was approved by everyone, but Qi Qingyu said it was inappropriate. European Garden Company was sealed by the Urban Construction Section of the Omi City Construction Bureau, and starting construction rashly would cause trouble.
"These trivial matters should be handled one by one. What is the specific reason and who is responsible? Find the right person to make the final decision and I will come forward." Liu Handong said confidently.
Qi Qingyu said that there was an engineering accident during the construction, the house collapsed and people died, and some people were causing trouble, so the construction bureau sealed the construction site and the court also issued a summons. It happened to be a critical period for bank loans at that time.
People will no longer lend money when they hear this information. Once the capital chain is broken, it will be like dominoes, all of them will fall at one push.
"Then go to the leaders of the Construction Bureau. Everyone who deserves fines and rectifications will recognize it. Let's settle the matter first." Liu Handong acted vigorously and agreed to visit the leaders of the Construction Bureau at their homes tomorrow morning.
The next day was Sunday. Qi Qingyu brought a car to pick up Liu Handong and drove to a high-end community in Linjiang in the western suburbs. He parked the car under a small high-rise building and took a lot of high-end tobacco and alcohol from the trunk for Qi Lin to carry.
, Liu Handong said, Brother, you can’t take this, look at mine, and he took out an envelope filled with large-denomination Euro banknotes.
"I've prepared it too and hid it in my cigarette case." Qi Qingyu said with a smile.
The three of them went up to the 10th floor, rang the doorbell, and the door opened. Standing inside was a girl wearing a loose shirt and slippers. It was Jin Luobing, the grounded flight attendant.
