In fact, I still agree with Lin Yi's statement, because I believe in one thing: the relationship between people needs to be maintained, or managed.
I immediately understood: his purpose was obvious, that is, he wanted to tell Governor Huang through me that Lin Yi really cared about his relationship with Governor Huang, or he wanted to remind Governor Huang through me that Lin Yi
It's a friend you can hang out with.
I suddenly became embarrassed, because in the final analysis, Lin Yi's idea still regarded me as a tool, a tool to deliver messages for him.
In fact, I have been very careful about what I say tonight, because I don't want Lin Yi to find any loopholes or flaws in my words, but now I realize that I still can't refuse anything he arranges for me. Now,
He has already reached this point step by step. Can I still refuse?
I had no choice but to nod and say: "Okay. I have taken some time to contact Governor Huang recently. But I can't guarantee that he will definitely meet me."
But he looked confident, "He will definitely meet you."
I was surprised again, "Why do you say that?"
He smiled and said to me: "Because Governor Huang thinks highly of you. Think about it, that time you asked Huang Shang to arrange entertainment projects, Governor Huang agreed to participate, you know? This is a leader, they
You will not casually participate in such activities arranged by your subordinates, unless he thinks you are completely trustworthy."
I disagreed in my heart: If it weren't for Lin Yu, he wouldn't have agreed. But I still felt that Governor Huang would not refuse me to pay him New Year's greetings. Of course, I would definitely bring Lin Yu along. So.
, the key to the question is whether I am willing to do it. Moreover, I have to convince Lin Yu.
I said, "I'll give it a try. But I really can't guarantee that he will definitely meet me."
He then said: "Feng Xiao, let's talk about Nanyuan Restaurant now."
I was stunned for a moment, because I didn’t expect that his thinking would change so much: Just now we were talking about paying New Year greetings to Governor Huang, why did we talk about this matter all of a sudden? But I really want to
Knowing what this matter was about, I immediately asked him: "Uncle Lin, I also want to know, was Nanyuan Restaurant yours before?"
He nodded, "It's mine, but I later gave that place to Wu Yaru."
I looked at him and said cautiously: "Uncle Lin, let me ask you something. If what I say is a little too much, please don't be angry."
He said: "We are a family, how could I be angry?"
So I asked him: "Uncle Lin, I think since you have given the things away, you shouldn't take them back again, don't you think so?"
As expected, he was not angry with me, but he shook his head and said: "Feng Xiao, this matter is not as simple as you think. Please update as soon as possible."
I said, "Oh? What on earth is going on?"
He did not answer me, but looked at me and asked: "Answer me first, do you really have shares in that restaurant?"
I didn't expect that he actually turned the topic to me again. I asked him: "What if I have shares? What if I don't have shares?"
He glared at me and said, "Feng Xiao, don't be careless with me. Tell me, do you have any shares in that restaurant?" [
At this moment, I suddenly felt embarrassed. I felt that this issue would have a huge impact on Zhong Feng. Obviously, if I said that I had shares in Nanyuan Restaurant, Lin Yi would probably take it for granted.
And changed my attitude. Originally, I wanted to figure out the whole story before talking about it, but now, Lin Yi doesn't give me such a chance at all.
I thought about it and thought it would be better not to get involved in such a thing. At least in this way I could say a few words for Zhong Feng from a fair perspective. I said: "I don't have any shares. Although she said to me
I was asked to become a shareholder, but I refused because I felt that I shouldn’t do such a thing, I didn’t have that kind of energy, and the impact on me would not be very good.”
He immediately laughed, "Let me tell you, I don't think it's possible for you to invest in it. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't go there to eat often. I still know who you are, and you've always been very careful about this.
"
I said: "I don't think it's necessary. In fact, Zhong Feng and I are not particularly familiar, so I am more cautious about buying shares."
He said: "Feng Xiao, what I gave to Wu Yaru at that time was the right to use the restaurant. That is to say, after I renovated the place, I let Wu Yaru run it by herself. I also thought that her salary was relatively low, plus that
For some time, Shi Yanni has been having conflicts with me over Wu Yaru's affairs, so I gave the place to Wu Yaru. Also, at that time, I asked you to take back the painting, so I felt sorry for her.
I felt very guilty and wanted to compensate her for this. However, the property certificate of the restaurant did not bear Wu Yaru’s name. In other words, the property rights of the place were still mine. But recently I discovered that Wu Yaru had transferred the place.
To this Zhong Feng, of course, all she transferred was the use right. But the most critical part of the problem is not here. That place was the land I stored at the time, because the state stipulated that after a piece of land is purchased, it cannot be used within three years.
If it is developed, the state has the right to take it back. It is for this reason that I built some simple buildings there and turned it into a restaurant. You have to know that that place is now a bustling commercial area, so
I really want to develop it right away. When I bought that piece of land, the price was very cheap. Now if I develop it, the profit will be quite considerable. You think, how could I not take it back?
"
So that's what happened. I thought to myself. I said: "That's right. It is really a waste to use such a good piece of land as a restaurant. But Uncle Lin, what if the restaurant is still in Wu Yaru's hands now? You
Will you take it back?"
He immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, your question has reached the most critical point. If that restaurant was still in Wu Yaru's hands, I would definitely not take it back, because I think it is worth it. But
Who am I, Zhong Feng? Why should I make such a big sacrifice for her?"
His words immediately moved me, because he had already asked me if I really had shares in Nanyuan Restaurant. In other words, if I really had shares there, he might also
I will lose huge profits for my sake.
At this moment, I felt very ashamed and regretful. I felt that I really shouldn't doubt him. After all, he had always been so good to me.
I think what he said does have a point, but I don’t completely believe that he would give up such a huge benefit for Wu Yaru. You know, he knows the relationship between me and Wu Yaru, and he can even give up the woman he loves.
As a person, would he still treat her so well?
But I didn't dare to ask him this question, and I couldn't, because I was so ashamed about this matter.
But he continued: "I must develop that place. Even if the restaurant is still in Wu Yaru's hands, I will plan several floors for her in the future to return it to her. Now I
I feel very uncomfortable because Wu Yaru actually transferred that place to someone else. It’s obvious that she hates me in her heart, so she did that. In this case, I won’t think about anything else.”
My face was burning and I felt embarrassed at the same time, "Uncle Lin, I'm sorry. At that time..."
He immediately interrupted me, "Feng Xiao, please stop talking. In fact, when I asked you to go find her to get the painting, I already thought that there might be such a result. You are weak-willed.
And Wu Yaru has such a personality. In order to get revenge on me, she probably asked you to do something like that to her, because you are my son-in-law, and she did that to embarrass me. This is the most important thing.
I didn't realize it at first, but your Aunt Shi is a woman, and she understands the heart of a woman. Do you understand? It was actually Shi Yanni who asked you to go to Wu Yaru to get the painting, because she had expected such a result, her purpose
It's very simple, just to make me completely stop thinking about Wu Yaru."
I couldn't help but be horrified, because I had no idea that the thing behind it would be like this. At this moment, I felt very uncomfortable, "Uncle Lin, I admit that my willpower is very weak in this area, but Aunt Shi, she
Is it Chen Yuan’s mother? Did she just watch me do that? Didn’t she even think about the harm that would cause to her daughter? "
He shook his head and sighed: "Aunt Shi, hey! She abandoned Chen Yuan when she was young. Although Chen Yuan came back later, Shi Yanni's psychology was no longer so normal. In her heart, she was no longer happy with herself.
My daughter is very guilty, but she always regards me as more important. Because of this, after I became the woman I am now, she was completely unable to accept or forgive me. Other women put their own
Children are more important than her husband, but she is just the opposite. I think it is probably because she hates the man who made her pregnant so much, so she adds that hatred to Chen Yuan.
On the body."
I felt a sting in my heart, "How could there be such a mother? Well, then, Chen Yuan and I's child...Uncle Lin, please help me find Aunt Shi as soon as possible, okay? Listen."
When you said this, I was very scared, afraid that she would do something to our child...Uncle Lin, I really don't dare to think about it, it's too scary!"
He looked at me and said to me gently: "Feng Xiao, you may be wrong about this. She actually really likes your and Chen Yuan's child. I can definitely see that, after all, I am with her."
After living together for so many years, I know her quite well, so you can rest assured that she will definitely be good to your children."
I shook my head, but I didn't know what to say, because I felt that his guarantee had no credibility at all. After all, he was not Shi Yanni.
He continued: "Feng Xiao, don't worry, I will find a way to find her as soon as possible."
I looked at him, "But, since she deliberately wants to hide, how can you find her?"
He was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "Yeah. This is a very troublesome thing. But I will try my best. Alas! How could it become such a situation? Now, unless I leave my current
Woman...but will she know such news? Even if I leave Doudou, will she forgive me? No, I know her character completely. Hey! Woman, why is it so troublesome?
Do you think I'm going too far? I'm a man, and I just want to have my own offspring. Am I wrong for doing this? I have so much talent and property, but I don't have my own offspring. In that case, is all my success considered success?
"
I was silent for a moment, because I thought what he said was very reasonable. But when I thought about my child, I suddenly felt a heart-wrenching feeling in my heart.
He took a sip of wine alone, and then sighed: "Feng Xiao, I feel that I am particularly sorry for you on this matter. Maybe this is the only thing I am sorry for you about, but there is nothing I can do. Just think about me, Lin Yi,
What kind of thing can't I handle in Jiangnan Province? But, I just can't do anything about this matter. Alas!"
When he said this, I felt bad about blaming him, so I hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, please stop blaming yourself. By the way, Doudou, when will she give birth to a baby? Her condition is still good now."
All right?"
A kind of tenderness suddenly appeared on his face, "Well, it's okay. I will give birth in the next year. Now I am thinking of a name for the child every day. Feng Xiao, you are more educated than me, please help me out.
idea?"
I hurriedly said: "Uncle Lin, please don't say that. Although you have never gone to college, your knowledge and wisdom are much higher than mine. What's more, you are the father of the child. Of course, you have to name the child yourself."
Get it for him."
He laughed and said: "The child's mother's nickname is Doudou. I wanted to name the child Lin Doudou, but then I thought that Lin Biao's daughter seemed to have this name. This is so unlucky. Haha!"
I couldn't help but find it funny, but the serious topic between us was immediately diluted. I knew he was telling such a joke on purpose, because he also felt that the topic we just had was serious. I hurriedly said: "Lin
Uncle, you must not make such a joke about your unborn child. Naming the child actually expresses the wishes or expectations of the parents."
He nodded and said: "Look at my crow's mouth! Haha! Feng Xiao, you are right. I miss Lin Yi. I don't lack anything now, so my only hope for my child in the future is that he can be healthy. My child
Health is more important than anything else. By the way, you reminded me that from now on, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, we will call him Lin Kang. Well, Lin Kang, it’s a very nice name.”
I also smiled and said: "What a good name."
Actually, I don't think so in my heart. Lin Kang, this seems to be a boy's name? What if you are a daughter in the future?
He laughed "haha", "It seems that this name lacks something. Well, from now on, if it is a son, he will be called Lin Kang, and if he is a daughter, he will be called Lin Xinkang. Mental health is also very important, especially for girls.
.Are you right, Feng Xiao?"
I was stunned because I suddenly discovered that there was a connection between us. Just when I was thinking this, he immediately said it. I said hurriedly: "Well, it's very good."
He looked very happy, "Look, Feng Xiao, how meaningful it is for us to have this meal together today? Not only did we talk about other things, but we also settled a big issue like the name of my future child. Great!"
In this case, let’s just drink some white wine?”
Of course I couldn't object, "Okay, I'll drink with you."
Then we started drinking liquor and chatting about some things. When we were both drinking heavily, I suddenly heard him asking me: "Feng Xiao, Zhong Feng called me this afternoon. She said Huang Province
I really like the environment of Nanyuan Restaurant, isn’t that right?
I didn't think about why he suddenly asked me such a question. I said: "It seems like this. That night after dinner, Governor Huang said to Zhong Feng: You can do more in this place."
OK."
He looked at me, "Oh? Governor Huang really said that?"
I nodded.
He asked me again: "Then what do you think Governor Huang's words mean?"
Only then did I react, "Uncle Lin, since Zhong Feng told you this, she should tell you the meaning of Governor Huang's words, right?"
He immediately laughed, "Feng Xiao, you are getting smarter and smarter."
I laughed "haha" and thought to myself: Isn't this obvious? I'm not a fool.
He immediately came to me and asked: "Feng Xiao, tell me the truth, what is the relationship between this Zhong Feng and you?"
I looked at him, "Didn't Zhong Feng tell you?"
He shook his head.
It seemed to me that he wasn't lying to me, and I also thought that Zhong Feng couldn't possibly tell him that much. She was just my patient, so what was there to say about such a relationship?
So I told him the whole process of my life with Zhong Yayan, and finally I said: "I am still talking about her. Since I have experienced life and death, why am I still so confused?"
After hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said: "Feng Xiao, that's what this person is like. It's easy to see others, but it's difficult to see yourself clearly. Take me as an example. Many people must also find it difficult to understand people like me.
People: With so much property, why do you continue to make money? You can’t use it all in a few lifetimes, right? Why bother? Including you, maybe you think so sometimes, right?”
I nodded, "Yeah. I did think so. But then I understood, because I heard you say some things, and I know that it is no longer your purpose to continue to make money, but that you have turned your business into something
Doing business is for your own career, and you feel that you must shoulder a sense of social responsibility."
He shook his head and said: "You only said one aspect, but you didn't say it completely."
I looked at him in surprise, "Oh? Are there other reasons?"
He nodded and said: "There is another most important and fundamental reason, and that is a person's dignity. I must continue my career, and I must make my career bigger and bigger. This is related to
The meaning of living in this world, because only when a person is recognized by society can he feel the meaning of his existence. Otherwise, what is the difference between me and other people? Therefore, the more difficult things are, the more I like to challenge them.
, once you succeed in the most difficult situation, the inner joy is difficult for ordinary people to feel. I think only in this way can you feel that you are truly alive. Feng
Laugh, maybe you don’t understand how I feel, but I believe that you will feel it when you reach a certain height. A person’s ambition always increases with the rise in status and wealth, and even
It can be said to be expansion. Because after a person reaches a certain height, he will become lonely and feel what it means to be cold at a high place. At that time, the only thing that can excite him is greater success. This is like
Like those who take drugs, only by continuously increasing the dose can people feel excited, because a person's excitement point is constantly increasing."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and I noticed that there was something as strange as Dong Jie and Zhong Feng in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel horrified, so I hurriedly reminded him: "Uncle Lin, you have drunk too much."
The thing in his eyes flashed away, and then he said to me calmly: "Maybe."
I remember the ancient Greek tragedy writer Euipides once said: If a god wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy. At this moment, Lin Yi's words made me feel a very bad premonition, but I didn't
Dare to remind him of anything, because I know that he definitely doesn’t want to hear other people’s opposite opinions now. You know, what he just said may be his truest inner world.
Maybe it was what I said just now that made him lose the desire to speak, or maybe he felt that he was really drunk with his opinion, so he quickly made a suggestion to end the dinner.
Then I drove home. When we parted, he gave me something, which was a large brown paper envelope. He told me that it contained the manuscript of Governor Huang's father.
One thing I didn't expect: my parents came to the provincial capital in advance. I picked them up in the afternoon.
"How much does such a beautiful house cost?" my mother asked me in amazement after seeing my villa.
My father looked at me suspiciously, "You're not going to accept a bribe, are you?"
I couldn't laugh or cry immediately, "The money I earned from the project in my hometown was enough to buy this villa. Why should I accept bribes?"
Only then did the father laugh.
Then I asked them: "Don't you want to go back this time? Just stay in the provincial capital from now on."
My mother looked at me, she was very hesitant, and then asked me after a while: "Where is our grandson? Still no news?"
I suddenly felt uneasy, shook my head and said, "I just talked about this matter with my father-in-law last night. But he said there was nothing he could do."
The father immediately became angry, "His wife took the child out, why can't he do anything?"
As a last resort, I had to tell Lin Yi that he had found another woman to have a child. After hearing this, my father fell silent. After a while, he shook his head and sighed: "This man, no matter how rich he is, he will be the same."
Yeah, it’s impossible to think about everything being perfect.”
The mother became even more anxious, "Then, what should we do with our grandson? Should we let him stay with his grandmother abroad? How is this allowed?"
I quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a solution slowly."
The father shook his head and sighed: "It's all our fault. If we had known, we should have come up earlier to take care of our grandson. Otherwise, how could such a thing have happened? But Feng Xiao, you are already a grown man, and Chen Yuan has been away from you for so long.
, should you find another one as soon as possible?"
The mother also said: "Xiao'er, your dad and I have already agreed that we won't go back this time. How good would it be for our family to live together?"
I was very happy, "Really? That's great!"
My father said: "Your father-in-law asked me to work in his company. After thinking about it, I still feel that it is not good. I am not familiar with the situation in the provincial capital, and your father-in-law's company can only give me a casual position, unlike in my hometown."
I can still play some role. I don't want to get paid for nothing."
I know my father quite well, and I know that he is a person who cannot take time off at all. I said: "Dad, or so. I still have some money on hand, so why don't we open a store ourselves and you can run it?"
.Do you think this is okay?”
My father suddenly looked very happy and said, "That's good. But what should I do?"
I suddenly thought of my own restaurant, but I immediately rejected the idea because Tongyue's mother was currently helping me take care of it, and she was doing a very good job. With my father's character, he must be the same as me.
That old lady is not good for us. And if I arrange it like that, nursery rhyme's mother will definitely misunderstand that I want to drive her away. After thinking about it, I said: "Dad, don't be anxious about this matter. I'll think about it slowly."
Let’s talk about it later, okay?”
My father smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I just happened to have a good rest recently. Let's talk about it after the new year."
I looked at the time and said, "Dad, Mom, our work is having a dinner tonight and I have to host it."
Father nodded and said, "You go ahead. Your mother and I can just make some food at home."
I said: "I heard that you are coming, so I bought some vegetables and put them in the refrigerator. You can cook what you like. By the way, I want to ask a nanny to come back so that someone will clean the house in the future.
I'm cooking. Can you guys watch it?"
The father shook his head and said: "No need. It used to be because of Chen Yuan, but now there is no such situation, so there is no need to hire a nanny. Your mother and I are both in good health, and we can do all those things."
I think so, and my father has a one-size-fits-all character, so I had no choice but to leave it at that.
The dinner party in the evening was held in a hot pot restaurant. Manjiangnan booked the entire hall of a hot pot restaurant according to my instructions. This is of course a relatively large hot pot restaurant, after all, there are many people in our unit.
Most of the retired comrades came. The old director was very happy when he saw me. He came over and said to me: "Xiao Feng, thank you. I didn't expect you to be so meticulous in your work. My office is great, and it works with me."
It's exactly the same as before. Xiaoman said it was your order. Although you are young, you consider the problem so carefully, I really appreciate you."
I hurriedly said to him: "Old director, you promised to come back and help me, so I should express my gratitude to you."
Of course, I gave a speech before dinner, "Good evening, everyone, leaders and colleagues! I know everyone is waiting for me to finish this opening statement quickly, and then start drinking. But such an opening statement is necessary.
, because this is the custom. Otherwise, if we grab drinks and food from the beginning, wouldn’t we become a group of stragglers? (Everyone laughs) So, what needs to be said must be said. Okay then.
, I will try to say as few words as possible. By the way, where did I say it? (Everyone laughed again) Oh, I remembered, it seems that I just started. Leaders and colleagues, good evening!
We are about to bid farewell to this fruitful year and will soon usher in a new year. In the past year, the management level of our unit has continued to improve, and various undertakings have shown a new and vibrant situation. These
The achievements are inseparable from the leadership of the old director and other leaders, and are also the result of the hard work of all our employees. Here, on behalf of our leadership team, I would like to extend my cordial condolences to the employees who have dedicated themselves over the past year.
As the New Year is approaching, let us raise a toast together and wish everyone here good health, family harmony, and all the best! I wish our common career will be brilliant! Finally, I wish you all have a wonderful night!"
Actually, I didn’t want to make this dinner so serious, but the effect of my speech was pretty good, and the whole scene became lively at once. But it was myself who suffered after the excitement, because the employees soon became less restrained.
, so everyone came to toast us shortly after the dinner started. It was impossible for me to drink fake wine on such an occasion, so I was already drunk by the end of the dinner.
On the way back, I asked Sui to stop on the side of the road for a while because I couldn't help but want to vomit.
However, after vomiting, I immediately felt much better and became much more awake.
Later, I asked Xiao Sui to take me outside my villa. When I got off the car, I told him: "Xiao Sui, you can pick me up here every day from now on."
I don't need to tell him why.
He wouldn't ask me, but he immediately said to me, "Director Feng, you are the most generous leader I have ever seen. Have you noticed? No other leader drinks like you."
I smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's only once a year."
When I got home, my mother had already cooked a sobering soup for me. My mother told me that this sobering soup contains vinegar, ginger slices and brown sugar. I immediately had a warm feeling like returning to my childhood. But I
I felt a little strange, "Mom, where did you buy brown sugar?"
My mother told me: "Isn't there a large supermarket outside? I went there to buy it. It's really convenient here. Everything is sold in the supermarket."
My mother's words immediately reminded me of something, and I immediately said to my father: "Dad, you have a job!"
