Qiongjin often has cloudy days after winter. If there is no sunshine, the air will be especially cold. After Fang Zhicheng left the hotel, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, then lowered his body and got into the black car. Zhao Qingya glanced at Fang Zhicheng
, seeing him wearing the clothes he gave him last night, he asked with a smile: "The temperature has dropped today, it's only about minus five degrees, why don't you put on more clothes?"
Fang Zhicheng shrugged, twitched his nose, and said harshly: "Is it cold? I didn't feel it at all. Instead, I felt very hot. If you don't believe me, you touched my back and I was sweating a lot."
Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes and ordered the driver in front of her: "Turn up the air conditioner temperature to make him hot to death..."
The driver smiled and followed Zhao Qingya's instructions to increase the air volume of the air conditioner. Fang Zhicheng felt much warmer instantly.
The Zhao family's house in Qiongjin is built on Hongding Mountain in the suburbs. Huainan Province is mostly plains, so Hongding Mountain can only be regarded as a small hill, with an altitude of only three to four hundred meters. However, Hongding Mountain has continuous mountains, and the overall
It looks extremely majestic from the past. As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, many emperors and generals liked to build villa palaces on Hongding Mountain.
The Zhao family's house was built on the basis of an ancient house left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After entering the Hongding Mountain Scenic Area, walk up the mountain road for about ten minutes, and you can get a glimpse of the old house at the top of the mountain.
The lintel of the house is wide, with the antique "Zhao Mansion" written in gold characters on it, which makes people feel like they have traveled through time and space. Entering the old house, the view inside is very broad. It is different from the courtyard houses in Yanjing. The style of Huainan is more delicate.
, the scenery is everywhere you look, with cobblestone paths, gardens, and dwarf pines forming a strange picture.
Zhao Qingya led Fang Zhicheng into the second door and came to the back garden of the Zhao family. Lafayette was wearing a kung fu suit and was dancing the Tai Chi sword slowly to the sound of music. The Zhao family is a family of martial arts. Although Lafayette is old,
She was over eighty years old, but her movements were smooth and light, and the sword made a swish sound every time she danced. Zhao Qingya and Fang Zhicheng sat by the stone pavilion, waiting quietly.
About ten minutes later, Lafayette drew back her stance, pushed the sword lightly into the scabbard, turned around and walked towards Shiting. She took a sip of tea first and then calmly told Zhao Qingya: "Qingya, I have something to say.
You want to talk to Fang Zhicheng alone, how about you stay out of the way?"
Zhao Qingya was slightly startled and looked deeply at Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng shrugged and gave a "please don't worry" look.
After Zhao Qingya left, Fang Zhicheng took the initiative to make a cup of tea, and then poured a cup for Lafayette. Lafayette was a little surprised to see that Fang Zhicheng was skillful in making tea, because one can also tell a person's personality from the way he makes tea.
connotation.
Lafayette took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I meet you today because I want to negotiate a deal."
"Oh?" Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows, wondering what medicine Lafayette was selling in his gourd.
"How much money will I give you so that you can leave Qingya?" Lafayette said slowly, naturally and directly.
Fang Zhicheng's first reaction was speechless, and his second reaction was ridiculous. After a long time, he looked up to the sky and laughed twice, sighing: "Did I hear correctly?"
Lafayette had always been calm and calm, but now his eyes flashed and he said: "The Zhao family has a tradition. Doing business has always been prepared with two hands, one hand soft and the other hard. If you don't accept my first condition, then you have to do something
It’s good to have good mental expectations. I’m afraid there will be various crises in your future and life. You are still very young and have such a long way to go. You will meet many different women. For the sake of elegance, you will give up everything. That kind of thing
Can you accept the consequences?"
**Naked threat!
Fang Zhicheng finally knew that the rumors about Lafayette of Hongda Group were not lies. This person had a kind face and looked no different from other old people. In fact, he was very tough at heart. She had experienced too many ups and downs in her life, and she could bring Hongda to the forefront.
The group has developed into a leading industry in Huainan Province, and has also allowed the Zhao family to grow into a regional family business. How could her methods be simple?
The implication of Lafayette is that if Fang Zhicheng does not accept the money, then she will use various methods to force Fang Zhicheng to submit. Fang Zhicheng is just a small civil servant, how can he compete with Lafayette? What's more, Fang Zhicheng is just a small civil servant.
The key is, can Zhao Qingya withstand the pressure exerted by her family?
Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said slowly: "I will not leave Qingya. As for if you want to force me, please do whatever you want. However, I want to ask you something, do you want to do this?
To what end?”
Lafayette was slightly startled and said softly: "I need to be responsible for the family!"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and sighed softly: "I can understand you, but will interfering in the feelings of children and grandchildren definitely make the family prosperous and never decline?"
Lafayette raised his eyebrows and replied: "At least a lot of risks can be avoided. You and Qingya are from two different worlds. Qingya is the heir to Hongda Group, and she has a heavy burden. Her significant other is important to the entire Zhao family.
It is very important.”
Fang Zhicheng asked: "Then what kind of person do you think can help her support the Zhao family? Someone who is powerful but she doesn't love?"
Lafayette waved his hand and said displeasedly: "Love is poison. I once let Qingya try the so-called love, but the result was that she was still scarred. I don't want her to indulge in that kind of illusory things anymore."
Fang Zhicheng sighed deeply and said softly: "Actually, there is no need for you to force yourself to be so impersonal..."
"What did you say?" Lafayette was stunned because he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to comment on himself like this.
Fang Zhicheng continued: "I don't know if my guess is right or not. The reason why you want me to trade with you has nothing to do with the rise and fall of the family. It is mainly because you are afraid that Qingya will be hurt again. You must have thought of it when you saw my face.
Sister Ya’s previous boyfriend. You were afraid that Sister Ya would be hit again, so you advised me to stay away from her. And the so-called family responsibility and commitment were just reasons you deliberately found out to hide your inner concern. In fact, you
He is an old man full of humanity, so why are you pretending to be yourself? If Sister Ya knew that you cared about her so much, she would definitely be very touched."
Lafayette's eyes widened. He didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to interpret his heart in this way. In fact, what Fang Zhicheng said was right, and he spoke of his own heart. Lafayette has been deeply troubled by her son's failed marriage over the years.
He blames himself, so he has been carefully protecting his grandchildren. In the eyes of others, Lafayette is cold-blooded and ruthless, and those are just disguises.
Lafayette supported the Zhao family's business as a woman. If she didn't act more decisively, how could she convince others? So when it came to the marriage of her grandchildren, she still subconsciously showed a tough style.
In fact, Lafayette hopes that Zhao Qingya will be happy more than anyone else. If Fang Zhicheng is not so like Zhao Qingya's ex-boyfriend, Lafayette may turn a blind eye and acquiesce, but Fang Zhicheng is too much like the man who once hurt her
He had passed Zhao Qingya, so Lafayette decided to prevent the tragedy from happening again.
Lafayette sighed and said softly: "I finally understand why Qingya likes you so much. You are very considerate and can guess what I am thinking. But in this case, I hope you can start from the perspective of an old man.
, leaving Qingya. I don’t want my granddaughter to be hurt in any way. Emotional pain is far more painful than physical pain, and I’ve been through it too.”
Fang Zhicheng saw that Lafayette's tone had turned calm, and after a long silence, he said sincerely: "I understand what you mean. In fact, I hope Qingya can get over the previous emotional injury more than anyone else. Please allow me to try hard. There is a saying
It’s called the person who untie the bell must tie the bell. Maybe it’s because I’m so similar to him that I had the opportunity to help her get out of the predicament she was in.”
Lafayette looked at Fang Zhicheng deeply, nodded and said: "Qingya has indeed changed a lot since she came back from Yinzhou... As you said, maybe I should change my view... But, if one day you really
If you hurt Qingya, then as her family member, I will definitely make you look good!"
Speaking of this, Lafayette's originally solemn brows relaxed, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Today's conversation with Fang Zhicheng, Lafayette suddenly found his heart. Fang Zhicheng's words "It's completely unnecessary."
Forcing myself to be so impersonal" struck a deep chord in her heart.
After all, Lafayette is just an old man. After her serious illness last year, she looked down on many things, so she gradually transferred her power to her granddaughter Zhao Qingya. In the eyes of many people, even in the eyes of her grandchildren, Lafayette
Buddha gives people the impression of being inhumane.
But this young man who only met for the second time understood him easily.
Lafayette smiled happily and changed his previous thoughts. Maybe he should give this young man a chance. At least judging from the current situation, Zhao Qingya's mood and mental state are very good. Why should she interfere and cause the situation to go wrong?
It's developing in a bad direction.
After saying goodbye to Lafayette and leaving the back garden, Fang Zhicheng suddenly realized that Lafayette talking to him alone today was actually just to test himself.
"Inducement and coercion" are just a different kind of concern for this old man with complicated experiences out of family affection. The kind old lady is using another way to let herself treat Zhao Qingya well.
"How was the talk?" Zhao Qingya saw Fang Zhicheng coming out and hurriedly greeted him.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Your grandma is a very, very kind old lady."
Zhao Qingya showed an expression of disbelief, reached out and touched Fang Zhicheng's forehead, and sighed: "Are you crazy?"
Fang Zhicheng reached out and pinched Zhao Qingya's pretty face, smiled and said loudly: "I will honor her with you in the future."
Sitting in the stone pavilion, Lafayette naturally heard these words clearly. He shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "What an interesting boy." r1058
