The person who came was none other than General Ye, whom Ye Fang had been secretly taken to the port base to meet. At this time, Ye Youxin, the third son of the Ye family, whom he had talked about in the chat with Ma Lingyun, suddenly flashed in Ye Fang's mind. , the third uncle of the Ye family is also in the army now, and based on his age, he is the same age as the general surnamed Ye in front of him.

Could he be Ye Youxin? Ye Fang thought to himself.

In fact, Ye Fang guessed correctly. This person was Ye Youxin, the third son of the Ye family, who now served in the core security department of the military region. In fact, Ye Youxin arrived earlier today, but he saw that the scene just now was not far away. He only appeared in front of Ye Fang after Hai Ziqing left Xiyuan.

"Hello, General Ye." Ye Fang hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello Ye Fang. I'm wearing casual clothes today, so don't call me by military rank. Just call me Uncle Ye." Ye Youxin said with a smile.

"Uncle Ye, please come inside, it's cold outside." Ye Fang said respectfully.

Ye Fang accompanied Ye Youxin into Xiyuan. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw the plaque "The First Garden in Beijing" inscribed by Hai Ziqing. Ye Youxin smiled and nodded, saying, "Uncle Hai has not had an inscription for many years." Yes, you have more dignity than me."

Hearing these words, Ye Fang was almost certain that the general named Ye in front of him was Ye Youxin, because Ye Youxin observed every setting of Xiyuan, and even the direction of each door, with a special emotion.

"I remember there was no door on this wall before..." Ye Youxin said to himself.

"Behind this wall is a small office. At that time, the direction of the door was changed for the sake of appearance." Ye Fang replied.

"So that's it." Ye Youxin nodded and followed Ye Fang towards the Xiyuan.

What was different from others was that Ye Youxin walked around Yuanheng's two courtyards one by one. Occasionally he would chat with Ye Fang for a few words, but most of the time he walked silently in the courtyard alone. There have been almost no changes to the main structure of Xiyuan. It can be said that the layout of all rooms has been completely maintained for hundreds of years.

Ye Fang understood that Ye Youxin was visiting Xiyuan with a special feeling at this time. Perhaps every corner of Xiyuan had left childhood memories. Ye Fang doesn't know what kind of relationship his grandma Xu Guizhi has with the Ye family, and he doesn't know why Xiyuan ended up under Xu Guizhi's name. Judging from Ye Youxin's reaction now, Xiyuan belonged to the Ye family at least many years ago. Private property, this place carries too many historical memories.

I believe that Ye Youxin may not be very clear about the historical changes in this period, and Xu Guizhi, the only person who knew about the changes, has also passed away. Xu Guizhi did not explain any information about Xiyuan, nor did he leave any written materials. This makes the entire paragraph History has become a blank.

Finally, Ye Youxin came to the ginkgo tree in Qianyuan, stood under the tree and stared at the withered branches without saying a word for a long time.

"Uncle Ye, let's go to the backyard study to chat." Ye Fang said proactively.

"Okay." Ye Youxin was obviously immersed in an emotion. After hearing Ye Fang's words, he slowly came out of his dissociated emotions and followed Ye Fang to the study in the backyard.

Ye Fang asked Aunt Yun to make a pot of tea and put it on the coffee table, and then sat across from Ye Youxin. Now Ye Youxin also had an impression of Ye Fang's study. After looking around carefully, he sat down quietly, then looked at Ye Fang with a peaceful expression and said, "Isn't it strange why I am so familiar with Xiyuan?" ?”

"Because you are the third uncle of the Ye family, right?" Ye Fang said directly.

Ye Youxin's eyes lit up, he nodded with a smile and said, "So you have guessed it a long time ago. Yes, I am Ye Youxin. Our last name is Ye, you can call me third uncle from now on."

"This... this isn't appropriate." Ye Fang almost said that he had nothing to do with the Ye family, and directly addressed him as Third Uncle so that others would have some ideas.

"There's nothing inappropriate. Children of your age call me Third Uncle, not to mention your surname is Ye." Ye Youxin said.

"Okay, Third Uncle."

"Well, that's right."

"Third uncle, why are you here today..."

Ye Youxin glanced at Ye Fang and said directly, "You must also know the connection between the Ye family and this yard. In fact, I have wanted to take a look for a long time. But my job is very special, and I usually have the ability to catch up with the New Year. Go home. I have to leave again tomorrow, so I came here specifically to take a look at this yard tonight."

"Third uncle, are you already here?"

Ye Youxin nodded and said, "But it was not convenient for me to come out of the scene just now."

"I understand." Ye Fang said suddenly, "Uncle, let me have two drinks with you tonight. You can stay here tonight."

Ye Youxin thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's have two drinks."

Ye Fang then asked Aunt Yun to cook a few dishes, then opened a bottle of 20-year-old Moutai, filled it first for Ye Youxin, and then for himself.

"Come on, Xiaoye, I haven't drank for many years. Today I will break the rules and have a drink with you at the Ye family's old house."

"Third uncle, please!"

As he spoke, Ye Fang and Ye Youxin clinked their wine glasses together, then drank down the wine in one gulp.

It can be seen that Ye Youxin has not drank for many years, and his face turns red after a glass of Maotai.

"Good wine." After a glass of wine, Ye Youxin felt very good.

The topic between the two people did not revolve around Xiyuan, but around several companies under the Jiuding Group. Ye Youxin gave high evaluations to the following companies. Both the potential of scientific research results and the quality of researchers are very high. In the next year, the country will allocate special scientific research funds to Jiuding Group. Ye Youxin made Ye Fang mentally prepared.

Gradually, Ye Fang brought the topic to the Yuanhua case and how to deal with Sister Xia's shares in Jiuding Group. Ye Youxin thought about it and said to Ye Fang, "I will pay attention to this matter you mentioned. I believe the relevant departments will." Come up with a proper handling method and disposal plan. Jiuding Group has always been in the sight of the upper management. There are many factors that need to be considered when it comes to the disposal of Jiuding Group's shares. No matter how it is disposed of, it must obey the national strategy. You rest assured."

"Uncle San, there are many foreign forces behind the scenes who are very interested in Jiuding Group's background and projects, and they are doing a lot of small things behind the scenes. I'm worried that once Jiuding Group's scientific research projects make a substantial breakthrough, they will encounter strong external resistance. This is not limited to stealing, monitoring or even kidnapping and assassination. Especially for those few scientific research backbones, the next one to two years will be a very dangerous stage." Ye Fang said.

Ye Youxin nodded in agreement and said, "Your worries are right. Our national strategy is transforming and we are seeking a say in high-tech technology. At this stage, foreign forces will definitely not sit back and watch China's rise. This situation will definitely last for five years, ten years, or even longer. The situation you are facing now is more severe than that of Zhengping. Foreign hostile forces will not just watch the Chinese plane take off. During the take-off process China will definitely set up various obstacles, and we must be mentally prepared for this."

"I have established a security company here by recruiting retired soldiers. On the one hand, the purpose is to protect their safety, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the conspiracies and tricks these people engage in secretly." Ye Fang said.

"Well, I will also send people to protect their safety secretly. When the research results come out, these companies in the Jiuding Group will all implement military management. Just do things boldly, and I will hold you up even if the sky falls." Ye Youxin said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Third Uncle, I will try my best to do a good job." Ye Fang replied.

Ye Youxin looked at Ye Fang's calm eyes and decisive expression, and seemed to see the shadow of his elder brother Ye Youli in a trance. However, Ye Youxin then thought that this should be impossible, and categorically denied his unrealistic idea. After thinking about it, Ye Youxin returned to his normal expression.

Ye Youxin also heard about Xiaozhuang, and naturally learned from special channels that Ye Fang entrusted all his two children to the Ma family to raise them. There are no young people at this age who can make such sacrifices for the cause of the country. .

Therefore, Ye Youxin attaches great importance to Ye Fang's future development, not to mention that Ye Fang has such a connection with the Ye family.

The two of them drank and chatted like this until around one o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally Ye Youxin passed out drunk. Su Long and Ye Youxin's security guards had been guarding the backyard. Ye Fang then asked the two to help Ye Youxin to the guest room to rest. Although Ye Fang drank a lot tonight, he was surprisingly not drunk at all. Maybe It was Ye Youxin who said too many words to him and revealed too much information. Coupled with tonight's special experience, Ye Fang's mood was very different at the moment.

Ye Fang asked Su Long to go back and rest, while he sat in the study and started writing calligraphy...
