Wang Jiancheng placed the branch of Korean ginseng on his father's desk: "Dad, Qiao Rulong is here. This is a gift that Grandpa Qiao entrusted him to bring to you."
Wang Zhengdao glanced at it and said in a low voice: "I'm feeling a little unwell today. Please tell Rulong."
Wang Jiancheng nodded. His father has rarely seen visitors in recent years. Even if the other party is Qiao Rulong, the only one who can make his father make an exception is Mr. Qiao, but it is impossible for Mr. Qiao to take the initiative to visit a junior.
Wang Zhengdao is still thinking about what his son told Qiao Rulong. Mr. Qiao entrusted his grandson to come to see him, which means that Qiao Rulong came on behalf of Mr. Qiao. The New Year has just passed and there is still some time before the Spring Festival. It does not seem to be the best time to give gifts.
,Why did Qiao Rulong come here this time?
Is it because of the marriage between the two families?
"You go and accompany Rulong."
Before Wang Jiancheng left, he couldn't help but said: "Dad, look at the Chinese medicine doctor I told you about..."
Wang Zhengdao waved his hand, obviously showing no interest. Most of the best Chinese medicine masters in the country had consulted him, so what? There was still no improvement.
Qiao Rulong sat on the sofa. This was not the first time he came to the Wang family. The place he visited more often was Mr. Wang's home. This is where Wang Zhengdao lived. Since Wang Zhengdao fell ill, he has lived in seclusion and has almost no contact with the upper reaches of society.
After cutting off contact, others knew that he had a strange illness and tried not to disturb him.
Wang Zhengdao's wife Feng Yiping was engaged in foreign affairs. After Wang Zhengdao fell ill, the couple also had some conflicts. Although they were not divorced, they were in a de facto state of separation. Feng Yiping was also a career-oriented woman and could not sacrifice her career to stay at home.
Taking care of Wang Zhengdao may be the source of their conflict.
Wang Jiancheng returned to Qiao Rulong, smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, my dad is not in good health today, so it's not convenient for him to come out."
Qiao Rulong could understand, and he also thought that his grandfather asked him to send Korean ginseng to Wang Zhengdao, but could this Korean ginseng test the attitude of the Wang family?
Wang Zhengdao is indeed suffering from a strange disease. It is understandable that he does not come out to see guests. It does not mean that he is neglectful of the Qiao family.
Because grandpa didn't explain, Qiao Rulong was also trying to figure out what grandpa meant. He wanted to know what the Qiao family meant. Why didn't he let himself go to see Mr. Wang directly? The two old men were very good friends. In Qiao Rulong's impression, Wang Zhengdao was sick.
Before, I would go to pay New Year greetings to my grandfather every year.
He doesn't think there are any problems between the two families. When it comes to the marriage between the two families, the Wang family has been more active.
Wang Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that Qiao Rulong probably didn't know about the concert episode yet. It was impossible for Mei Ruxue to tell him the details. As his wife, Ye Qingya didn't convey it to him. It seemed that this
The two couples are not intimate, as most marriages for political purposes are like this.
Wang Jiancheng said: "Wonderful!" Both the concert itself and what happened during it were wonderful. Mei Ruxue's actions made him lose a lot of face, but he was quite satisfied with his overall performance.
He also got to know Xu Chunliang again after this incident, and he would not take the initiative to mention specific details to others.
Qiao Rulong took a sip of tea and said, "Xiaoxue's temper is quite stubborn, so I need to be more tolerant of you."
Wang Jiancheng said: "Brother Long, have you met Xu Chunliang?"
Qiao Rulong said in his heart that I showed you Xu Chunliang's photo two days ago. Why did you ask me this question? Have they already met? Qiao Rulong shook his head: "No chance." People from different walks of life have no chance of meeting each other.
not much.
Wang Jiancheng said: "This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
Qiao Rulong showed a faint smile. The person his sister admires must have his strengths, but so what? No matter how outstanding his ability is, it is difficult to break class barriers. Some things are destined from the time you are born, and this is true at all times and in all countries.
He was not interested in Xu Chunliang. What really interested him was Wang Jiancheng's attitude. Wang Jiancheng seemed to be more interested in Xu Chunliang than Mei Ruxue. Anyway, he rarely heard him mention his sister in front of him.
Qiao Rulong said: "The tea is a little cold."
Wang Jiancheng said sorry and quickly changed him to new tea. He was a little suspicious of Qiao Rulong's words as a pun?
Qiao Rulong raised his wrist and looked at the time: "No need to interrupt, please help me tell my uncle that I have something else to do and I'm going back."
Wang Jiancheng said: "What's the hurry? I still have something to ask you."
Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa asked me to go and come back as soon as possible. I dare not disobey." He stood up and patted Wang Jiancheng on the shoulder: "Let's play ball another day."
"OK!"
Wang Jiancheng walked outside the door and watched Qiao Rulong's car leave. Then he went back and saw that the new tea he had just poured for Qiao Rulong did not move at all.
Wang Jiancheng returned to his father's study and saw that his father was still holding the Korean ginseng and looking at it.
"dad!"
Wang Zhengdao frowned: "The guest has left?"
Wang Jiancheng nodded: "He said Grandpa Qiao asked him to go back for other matters."
Wang Zhengdao estimated the time: "What are the original words?"
Wang Jiancheng thought about it: "He said that Grandpa Qiao asked him to leave and come back quickly, and he didn't dare to disobey!"
The Korean ginseng in Wang Zhengdao's hand suddenly became heavy. Mr. Qiao didn't ask Qiao Rulong to come here just to visit a doctor. He went back quickly to prove that he had already expected that he would not see Qiao Rulong and he did not dare to disobey.
It means that whatever Mr. Qiao asks Qiao Rulong to do, he will do it.
When you reach the state of Mr. Qiao, you will not do anything meaningless.
Wang Jiancheng felt that his father seemed a little strange at this time: "Dad, is there something wrong?"
"What else did he say?"
"Nothing said."
Wang Zhengdao felt that his mood was getting worse and he waved his hand: "You can go out first."
Wang Jiancheng did not leave immediately: "Dad, there is something I want to discuss with you."
After getting his father's consent, Wang Jiancheng said: "She actually already has someone in her heart about the matter between me and Mei Ruxue."
Wang Zhengdao looked at his son calmly, how could he not know about Mei Ruxue? He was strategizing and winning a battle thousands of miles away. Although he didn't go out, he knew a lot about everything outside.
Wang Jiancheng said: "I feel that even if the marriage is successful, it will not be of much benefit to my Wang family."
"Do you think the reason why I facilitated this matter was to sacrifice the interests of our Wang family and your personal happiness?"
"Dad, I don't mean that. I just want to know why grandpa must fulfill the promise he made back then?"
"Sometimes, marriage is not based on the benefits that the other party can bring to you, but to prevent him from becoming your enemy!"
Wang Jiancheng didn't understand his father's words. Even if the marriage between the two families failed, his grandfather and Mr. Qiao were still best friends. They were once business partners and friends for decades. It was impossible for Qiao Rulong to turn against each other because of the failed marriage, right? Qiao Rulong will take this trip
I told my grandfather exactly what happened, and Mr. Qiao nodded while listening.
Qiao Rulong said: "I came and went in a hurry this time, will Uncle Wang have any ideas?"
Mr. Qiao said with a smile: "He has always had a lot of ideas, but unfortunately, his body does not allow it." The two most capable juniors of the Qiao family and the Wang family, Qiao Yuanshan was ruined emotionally, and Wang Zhengdao was ruined physically. It's really
Nature plays tricks on people.
However, the Wang family is prosperous, and Mr. Wang's other sons are all serving in important departments. In the past ten years, the overall strength of the Wang family seems to have surpassed that of the Qiao family.
Qiao Rulong said: "You asked me to test Uncle Wang's attitude."
Mr. Qiao said: "I have always known the attitude of the Wang family."
Qiao Rulong said: "They proposed the marriage on their own initiative."
Mr. Qiao said: "Now that I think about it, I should respect Xiaoxue's opinion."
Qiao Rulong was shocked. What did grandpa mean? Did he regret it? No longer consider the marriage? Is it just because Wang Zhengdao neglected him? Impossible, grandpa should have considered that this marriage would not bring any benefits to their family.
If you want the benefits, then there is no need to sacrifice your sister's happiness.
Qiao Rulong said: "Didn't you already agree to Grandpa Wang?"
Mr. Qiao said calmly: "It's not like the old society. Nowadays, freedom of love is emphasized. Since Xiaoxue doesn't like him, why should we embarrass our children."
Qiao Rulong said: "If she knew that you agreed to her and Xu Chunliang's affairs, I don't know how happy she would be."
"I just said that I will no longer ask her to marry the Wang family. Don't misunderstand me."
Qiao Rulong looked at his grandfather in surprise. Grandpa must have readjusted the layout.
##
Xu Chunliang sent the materials investigated by Mo Han to Gao Xiaobai, but did not receive a reply from Gao Xiaobai.
Xu Chunliang felt like he was a villain in vain, and Gao Xiaobai most likely felt that the person he was investigating behind his back was a bit dishonest, but he was also extremely benevolent, and his concern for Gao Xiaobai was also because of Gao Xinhua.
He skipped a class that afternoon. He wanted Chen Qianfan to help him sign in, but Chen Qianfan also chose to skip class like him. However, a secretary was arranged to come over for him. In fact, he could graduate regardless of whether he signed in or not, but everyone still had to express his gratitude to the class.
Show some respect.
The two of them left together and came outside. Chen Qianfan breathed a long sigh of relief: "I'm most afraid of going to class. To tell you the truth, I had a nightmare last night."
Xu Chunliang couldn't help laughing: "Is it so serious?"
Chen Qianfan nodded and said seriously: "I dreamed that I was taking the junior high school exam again. I didn't know all the questions, but I was so worried." Almost everyone who has ever gone to school has had such a dream.
Xu Chunliang pointed to the sidewalk and motioned for him to go up. There were many students riding bicycles on the road. Compared with the students in these ivory towers, their lives lacked an evolutionary process, so they could only use money to make rapid progress.
Catalyze and achieve overtaking in corners. In fact, many people have already taken the lead in terms of wealth.
