Xu Chunliang said: "Maybe they are friends, and that person is just staying here."
Pan Tianhua sighed and said: "It's not that I'm suspicious, I always feel that something is wrong."
Xu Chunliang said: "With all due respect, it's useless no matter how anxious you are, the final choice still lies with your daughter."
Pan Tianhua was silent, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "To tell you the truth, the things I have experienced this year have made me physically and mentally exhausted. I just want my children to be safe, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Xu Chunliang said: "I believe Mr. Pan can get what he wants."
Pan Tianhua nodded: "I heard that Blue Star has invested in a film and television base project in Dongzhou? Mr. Hua sees further than me."
When Ji Buyao disappeared mysteriously and Blue Star encountered an unprecedented crisis, Hua Zhuyue turned the tide with the help of Xu Chunliang. It was at that time that she decisively made the decision to lead Blue Star's transformation.
Pan Tianhua thought he had found a bargain and took over Blue Star's nightclub and bar industry as if he had found a treasure. Although these industries cannot be called real sunset industries, they have invested heavily in operations and have a high reputation due to the particularity of the industry.
Risky, the scene in Nanjiang unfortunately caught up with Operation Spring Thunder.
With the tightening of policies, entertainment venues across the country are facing constant purification. Traditional consumer groups have gradually disappeared and been replaced by the younger generation. In order to meet their consumption needs, they must be upgraded and renovated.
Pan Tianhua gradually realized that this aspect of business was becoming more and more difficult to do, and the input-output ratio was too low. As he got older, he also felt lack of energy. He originally planned to hand over the property to his son Pan Weidong, but considering that his son
Despite his character and the risks in the industry, he changed his mind. After his daughter and grandson were robbed, he began to transfer the nightclubs and bars under his name.
Pan Tianhua also wanted to learn from Hua Zhuyue and transform the Hedong Group. Of course, he did not choose the film and television entertainment industry, but invested in traditional industries. Pan Tianhua wanted his descendants to completely get rid of the gray industry. With his financial resources, his children would not do anything.
Anything is enough to waste a lifetime.
Xu Chunliang said: "If Mr. Pan wants to invest, I can introduce it to you."
Pan Tianhua smiled and said: "Okay! By the way, I remembered one thing. Did a singer come to your Dongzhou for a concert a while ago?"
Xu Chunliang nodded: "There is such a thing, but the concert was ruined."
Pan Tianhua said: "I heard that his fans besieged you?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Sure enough, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. It's over."
Pan Tianhua said: "His agent once asked me for help, but I refused."
Xu Chunliang said: "I will definitely give you Mr. Pan's face."
Pan Tianhua said: "I know in my mind which side I should be on."
Xu Chunliang said: "Speaking of it, it's just for work. I don't have any deep grudge against this little singer."
Pan Tianhua said: "It didn't happen in the past, but it's not necessarily the case now. His contract company lost a lot of money. I know these people in the entertainment industry. They usually don't look for the reasons from themselves, but take all the responsibility."
If you blame others, you should be more careful lately."
Xu Chunliang heard that Pan Tianhua was reminding himself that it was probably the singer's backstage boss who wanted to take revenge on him. Xu Chunliang didn't take it seriously and just let these guys come over. He felt that his life had been dull recently, so he didn't ask any questions.
, Pan Tianhua has already reminded him for this reason, so there is no need to find out who it is.
Xu Chunliang thanked Pan Tianhua and had a meal with Pan Tianhua at noon. Before leaving, Pan Tianhua gave him the prepared New Year goods and asked the driver to take Xu Chunliang back to his residence.
When Xu Chunliang returned to Ye Qingya's studio to sort out the gifts, Ye Qingya came over. Seeing the gifts in the room, she was a little surprised and said, "Who gave you so many years of goods?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Friend, Sister Qingya, you are here just in time. Come and have a look. You can keep some of it and send the rest to grandpa later."
Ye Qingya said: "Okay, grandpa knows that you have come to the capital. You can follow me back to see him later."
Xu Chunliang said: "Did you tell him?"
Ye Qingya said: "No, he guessed it."
Xu Chunliang said: "Yes!"
Ye Qingya picked a few items and put them away, then said: "By the way, grandpa asked you to accompany me to Qiao's house."
Xu Chunliang said: "What?"
Ye Qingya said: "Qiao Rulong came here to give gifts, but my uncle didn't come back. Naturally, it was me who went there. I don't want to go alone. What's wrong? You don't want to accompany me?"
Xu Chunliang said: "It's not that I don't want to, I'm mainly worried about embarrassment."
Ye Qingya said: "Worried about the embarrassment of meeting Mei Ruxue? Don't worry, she hasn't come back yet."
Xu Chunliang said: "Okay, I'll go with you, but Qiao Rulong has a problem with me. Will it make the situation tense if I go with you?"
Ye Qingya said: "I don't plan to stay long, I just want to go for a formality. We will come back after putting down our things."
Xu Chunliang secretly thought that there was indeed nothing to worry about. He used to miss his old relationship with Mei Ruxue, but now it has been proved that Mei Ruxue is not Qiao Yuanshan's biological daughter at all. What the Qiao family did to Mei Ruxue is nothing.
There is no trace of family affection, so just go, I don't owe them anything to the Qiao family.
Xu Chunliang has not been to Qiao's house for a long time. In fact, he is not worried about the embarrassment of seeing Mei Ruxue, let alone Qiao Rulong's feelings, but he doesn't want to face Mr. Qiao.
He has always had great respect for Mr. Qiao, but a series of things that happened during this period made him have opinions about Mr. Qiao, especially when he remembered that his grandfather went to discuss with Mr. Qiao specifically in order to restore his relationship with Mei Ruxue.
, every time I think about this, it feels like a lump in my throat. Although grandpa told Xu Chunliang that Mr. Qiao was very polite to him, Xu Chunliang always thought that grandpa had sacrificed a lot of self-esteem on that trip to Qiao's house.
If possible, Xu Chunliang would never want to meet Mr. Qiao again in his life, but some people are destined to meet.
Ye Qingya's ability to go to Qiao's house to repay the gift is enough to prove that she has moved on from the past.
The two came to Qiao's house, and Qiao Rulong happened to be away. In fact, Qiao Rulong did not live here recently.
Qiao Yuanjiang, who is in a semi-retired state, has arrived in the capital to accompany the old man to celebrate the New Year. The Qiao family has become much livelier because of the arrival of Qiao Yuanjiang's family.
Qiao Yuanjiang told them that Mr. Qiao was resting. Ye Qingya said that there was no need to disturb him. The purpose of her coming here today was to repay the gift. Although grandpa and Mr. Qiao had basically no longer contacted each other, they still had to do things to save face, including
In other words, the Ye family does not want to owe the Qiao family any favors.
On the surface, they are reciprocating politely, but in fact they are drawing a clear line and gradually moving further apart.
Qiao Yuanjiang was a little surprised to see Xu Chunliang coming, but he quickly figured out the reason. Xu Chunliang is Mr. Ye's godson, and he came here on behalf of the Ye family.
Qiao Yuanjiang asked about Xu Chunliang's recent work, and Xu Chunliang gave a few perfunctory words. He didn't have much contact with Qiao Yuanjiang, and he didn't have much affection for him. When he was in love with Mei Ruxue in the past, he knew that although Qiao Yuanjiang was the boss of the Qiao family,
But he has little responsibility and little ability, and Mr. Qiao doesn't have much hope for him.
Ye Qingya didn't plan to stay at Qiao's house for a long time. She said a few polite words and was about to leave. At this moment, she heard Mr. Qiao coughing and it was Mr. Qiao who woke up from his nap.
Mr. Qiao walked out accompanied by the nanny. He was much thinner than when Xu Chunliang saw him before. His back that used to be straight became stooped. He walked slowly and staggered. It was obvious that his physical condition was not very good.
Qiao Yuanjiang quickly stood up to greet his father, but when he encountered Mr. Qiao's sharp eyes, he retracted his hands in embarrassment.
Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya also stood up at the same time. Xu Chunliang greeted: "Hello, Mr. Qiao."
Ye Qingya called out: "Grandpa Qiao." Although she still addressed her as grandpa, the addition of a surname in front of her meant that she had drawn a clear line with the Qiao family, and she was no longer a member of the Qiao family.
Mr. Qiao smiled at Ye Qingya and said, "Chunliang is here!"
Xu Chunliang didn't expect that he would be so valued. The first person greeted by Mr. Qiao was himself. Perhaps he deliberately did not greet Ye Qingya to show that he continued to treat Ye Qingya as a family member. Xu Chunliang was the only outsider here.
Ye Qingya said: "Grandpa asked Chunliang and me to come together to visit your old man."
Mr. Qiao nodded: "It's hard for him to still remember me."
Ye Qingya said: "How could we forget the friendship that lasted for decades?"
Mr. Qiao invited them to sit down, and the nanny brought him a cup of tea. Mr. Qiao waved his hand to say no, and his eyes fell on Xu Chunliang again: "Chunliang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
If it had been in the past, Xu Chunliang would have been moved by his greetings, but now he was extremely calm and said softly: "There have been a lot of things recently, so I didn't come to the capital."
Mr. Qiao sighed and said, "I've heard about your grandfather. I happened to be hospitalized at that time, so I couldn't go there in person. I'm really sorry."
Xu Chunliang said: "There is no need to worry about Mr. Qiao. Grandpa's funeral affairs are going very smoothly."
Mr. Qiao said with emotion: "In the past, I always thought that I would be ahead of the curve. It's fate that makes people happy."
Xu Chunliang said: "You should take more care of yourself."
Mr. Qiao coughed a few times and said, "No one can avoid birth, old age, illness, and death. My body is fine."
Qiao Yuanjiang said: "Dad, it's time for you to take medicine."
Mr. Qiao said: "Can you let me talk to Chunliang for a while? Take the medicine, take the medicine, can't you take it later?"
Qiao Yuanjiang looked embarrassed. In front of the two juniors, his father did not save him any face. Qiao Yuanjiang did not dare to say anything. He stood up with a smile and said: "Then you talk about your business, I will go out for a walk.
"
Mr. Qiao looked at Ye Qingya, his expression became kind again: "Qingya, is your grandpa in good health?"
Ye Qingya said: "Fortunately, he likes to exercise. He just had a physical examination a while ago and everything was normal."
