Game within game: chess player

"I dare not forget about my country despite my humble position. I am telling the truth." Ye Fang replied calmly.

At this time, Ye Fang didn't notice at all that his back was soaked. He was completely focused on the questions and answers with the old man in front of him, fearing that if he was not careful, he, his family, or the He family would be in ruins.

"You dare not forget about your country because of your humble status? Your humble status?" At this point, the old man suddenly laughed, and then said to Ye Fang, "This poem should not be suitable for you, you are not among them."

Not included? ! Maybe it really is not included in this list, just like Ye Fang now, who can create such a big family business at this age, and still talk eloquently and calmly in front of the elderly. However, Ye Fang thinks that he is in a humble position now. After all, he does not have an official position. Even if he has an official position, he is humble in front of the old man, without exception.

Ye Fang smiled, but did not continue to talk.

"Have you seen the relay race?" the old man suddenly asked.

"Relay race? Have you seen... seen it." Ye Fang replied hesitantly. He didn't expect the old man's mind to jump so fast that he suddenly jumped to competitive sports.

"What factors do you think are necessary to win the relay race?" The old man said as he walked around the ginkgo tree, seeming to be observing the thick branches of the ginkgo tree, and seemed to be waiting for Ye Fang's answer.

"Speed ​​comes first, of course, and the cooperation between teammates, such as whether the handover of the baton is perfect..." Ye Fang answered several factors that he thought would affect the victory of the relay race. He still didn't understand why the old man suddenly Asking this question seems to mean something.

After hearing Ye Fang's answer, the old man nodded with satisfaction and continued, "You are right. If there is a problem with the cooperation of the players who are handing over the baton, for example, the player behind the baton does not want to hand over the baton completely, do you think it will happen? What's the result?"

"Of course I lost the game..." Ye Fang replied without hesitation. Suddenly Ye Fang seemed to have thought of something. At the moment when he thought about it carefully, Ye Fang suddenly stopped talking and did not dare to answer any more. .

The old man looked at Ye Fang, knowing that he should have understood what he said and what he meant, and continued, "I can promise you the He family. The original appointment of the son-in-law of the He family has also gone through the organizational procedures and inspections. The results are good and can be released at any time. As for the issue of the He family's daughter's promotion, the organization will follow the established procedures. She is originally a young cadre trained by the Military Commission, and these have already been planned. "

"You... I'm not... Oh!" Ye Fang realized at this moment that it was all unnecessary. Originally, the arrangements for the He family were already in the upper management's plan. It seemed a bit redundant for him to worry about this. . It's just that the upper levels have blocked the He family's channels and resources for understanding this information. These aristocratic families are like behemoths in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the bosses in the top-floor buildings, they are just pawns in a game.

"But in exchange, you need to do one thing." The old man slowly turned his head, his eyes shot out a ray of light that hit Ye Fang's heart, making Ye Fang suddenly nervous.

"Since a relay competition requires a referee, and since you are willing to blow the whistle for the He family, you must naturally perform the duties of a referee!" the old man said loudly.

"Referee? What can I do?" Ye Fang blurted out.

"It's very simple, I want to win this game!" The old man's words were like thunder boulders hitting Ye Fang's chest one by one, making him instantly feel an indescribable sense of suffocation, as if even the breeze blowing past his face None of them could bring him any sense of comfort.

If you want to win the game, just win! Tell me what to do! What can I do! Ye Fang shouted loudly in his heart.

After the old man said this, Ye Fang didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't know whether he should congratulate you or say I wish you all the best.

"I need the guy behind me to completely let go!"

"You can do this!"

"not bad?!"

After hearing the last few words of the old man, Ye Fang only saw the old man opening his mouth to speak, but could not hear the sounds around him at all. It took a long time for Ye Fang to come back to his senses.

You...you said this...I can't do this! Ye Fang shouted loudly in his heart again, you two big guys are running a relay race, why do you want me, a nobody, to be the referee? I don't have the qualifications, nor the ability to settle this lawsuit! If you don't do it right, someone will die!

"I can't do it..." Ye Fang waved his hands and said with a sad face.

"You can do it, Tong Yanwuji, maybe this is the only way to break the deadlock." As he spoke, the old man ignored Ye Fang who was standing there and walked outside. Li Xiaoxiong didn't know when he had appeared beside the old man.

Ye Fang vaguely heard the old man saying to Li Xiaoxiong, "Let's go ahead with Li Desheng's appointment. We can go through the organizational procedures."

"Yes." Li Xiaoxiong agreed in a low voice, and then took a peek at Ye Fang, who was still standing under the century-old ginkgo tree, with a complicated look in his eyes.

After a few minutes, Ye Fang felt that the tense atmosphere in the air immediately relaxed, and he could faintly hear the noise in the streets and alleys again. Soon Miyagi came to Ye Fang and whispered, "Boss, he's gone." .”

At this time, Miyagi also felt that his legs were shaking, but after all, he had seen too many dignitaries, so Miyagi thought that he had not behaved inappropriately, so he should be considered a pass.

Hearing Miyagi's voice, Ye Fang suddenly relaxed and staggered back. Fortunately, Miyagi helped Ye Fang in time. The moment he held Ye Fang's back, Miyagi felt a wave of moisture coming from his palms. He found that the back of Ye Fang's clothes was soaked with cold sweat. Miyagi's expression suddenly became solemn. He had never seen Ye Fang in his impression. Like this.

Miyagi knew that his current net worth was firmly tied to Ye Fang. If Ye Fang and the Ye family fell, he would also fall into the dust.

"Boss, let me help you go to your room to rest." Miyagi whispered.

Ye Fangqiang stood still, waved his hand and said, "No need for help, I can walk by myself."

Standing still, taking a few deep breaths, Ye Fang quickly adjusted his mental state, looked up at the century-old ginkgo tree in front of him, and murmured, "If you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are rich, you can help the world. I never thought that one day I would be able to manage it." It’s the world’s business.”

At this time, Zhang Xiuying, Nan Yi and Lu Jiuge walked in quickly from the outer courtyard. Zhang Xiuying quickly came to Ye Fang and said, "Are you okay?"

"Whatever happens, we just have a casual chat." Ye Fang said with a smile.

"Let's go back to the inner courtyard for dinner." Nan Yi stepped forward and helped Ye Fang obediently. Ye Fang did not refuse and returned to the study surrounded by everyone. After taking a bath, Ye Fang suddenly felt refreshed. People like Zhang Xiuying and Nan Yi were very interested and did not ask what the two talked about.

It wasn't until evening that Xue Yuanshan came to Xiyuan and met Ye Fang. The two chatted for more than an hour, and then Xue Yuanshan quietly left Xiyuan.

It was already past twelve o'clock when Xue Yuanshan left. Perhaps because he had something on his mind, Ye Fang Wuxin put on his clothes and walked out of the study and came to the door of the main room.

Ye Fang gently opened the door and walked in. Although he didn't turn on the light, he still remembered the location of all the furnishings in the room, from a chair to the placement of teacups. Everything was originally from a few years ago. appearance.

Ye Fang's fingertips gently brushed the table and bedside, and picked up the photo of the two of them and looked at it carefully. Xiaozhuang in the photo had a bright smile, and his eyes were filled with the happiness of newlyweds. For this person who had accompanied him since childhood, Ye Fang was filled with guilt when he saw the woman who left this world before enjoying a happy life.

Maybe it is really appropriate to keep this main room in one's heart forever, as his mother Zhang Xiuying said, so Ye Fang worked hard to write down every corner of the room, then sealed it completely and put it there The depths of my heart that only I can visit forever.

Aunt Gui made breakfast early in the morning. Nan opened the study door but did not see Ye Fang. Neither did Zhang Xiuying's room. Miyagi also said that he had not seen Ye Fang go out. That's when everyone searched for Ye Fang in the yard.

They saw the door of the main room in the inner courtyard being pushed open. Ye Fang yawned and walked out. He stood at the door and stretched his waist. When Ye Fang opened his sleepy eyes, he saw Zhang Xiuying and Nan Yi. A group of people stood in the middle of the inner courtyard and looked at Ye Fang in surprise.

"You are watching what I am doing. If you are hungry, bring breakfast in and eat together." Ye Fang turned around and returned to the main room.

Zhang Xiuying and Nan Yi looked at each other in confusion. Zhang Xiuying showed a hint of pride on her lips, patted Nan Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go have breakfast."

Ye Fang, Zhang Xiuying and Nan Yi were sitting around the dining table. Ye Fang was drinking porridge and said casually, "Nan Yi, please move to this room. Don't squeeze into that small room."

Hearing Ye Fang's words, Nan's eyes suddenly lit up, she blushed, nodded, and replied, "Yes."

"The decoration of the room is according to your wishes. Just tell Miyagi what furniture you want to buy." Ye Fang said casually.

Nan Yi and Zhang Xiuying looked at each other silently, and Nan Yi replied with a smile, "There's nothing to change, it's just fine as it is."

"Well, okay, as long as you are happy." Ye Fang said.

Soon the news that Nan Yi had moved into the main house in the inner courtyard spread throughout Xiyuan in an instant, which was equivalent to announcing to the world that Nan Yi had officially become the mistress of Xiyuan. However, Ye Fang didn't seem to want to announce this in such a high-profile manner, so the whole Changing rooms is extremely easy. Minami just asked Miyagi to change the bed and other items in the main bedroom, and then he just carried a small bag and moved into the main room.

There are no more of Xiaozhuang's clothes and personal belongings in the main house. These things were burned when Xiaozhuang passed away. Nanyi himself is also a minimalist and has no habit of buying luxury clothes. Ye Fang's living habits and clothes are all customized by a private tailor arranged by Miyagi. It can be said that he has enough food and clothing.

However, the parties involved in this simple house-swapping operation did not think of giving it a special meaning. Even Ye Fang just wanted to let the transition take its course. However, he did not expect that within 24 hours, the matter would first spread throughout Guizhi Investment, and then through Radio waves spread across the Taiwan Strait.

Jiangshan Holdings, Su Yue Office.

"Mr. Su, there is news coming from the capital." Lan Lu, who was already Su Yue's assistant, walked up to Su Yue nervously and said.

"What's the fuss about?" Su Yue asked softly as she signed the document without raising her head.

"Someone has moved in!" Lan Lu said incoherently.

"Why did someone move in? It's inexplicable." Su Yue raised her head and asked.

"The man named Nan Yi has moved into the main house in the inner courtyard." Lan Lu said with wide eyes.

"Just move..." Su Yue didn't realize what the symbolic meaning of Lan Lu's words was. She was about to lean over and continue writing when she suddenly raised her head and asked, "What did you say?! She moved into the main house." went."

"Yeah." Lan Lu nodded heavily.

Su Yue slammed the pen in her hand on the desk and said to Lan Lu, "Book a flight to the mainland immediately, and book one for Yong Si as well."

Yongsi is the child of Ye Fang and Su Yue. His name is Ye Yongsi. He is less than two years old and has never seen Ye Fang so far. Although Ye Fang had said countless times that he would come to Wanwan to see her and her children, Ye Fang was too busy to spare a large amount of time.

"Sisi is too young, or else..." Lan Lu estimated that Ye Yongsi was too young and would suffer a lot from flying.

"No, we, mother and son, have to go together!" Su Yue said loudly.

Macau Ho Family.

Almost at the same time, He Chaoqiong also received the inside message. He Chaoqiong put down the phone, with a cold smile on his lips, and said, "Nan Yi... that female bodyguard? I knew you two must be having an affair! Humph! Ye Fang, give it to me Wait!"

Then He Chaoqiong called the housekeeper over and said, "Get ready to get off the plane. I want to go to the capital immediately. Also, take the young master with me!"

The butler's eyes flickered, but he still replied respectfully, "Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

After the housekeeper arranged Ho Chaoqiong's travel arrangements, he immediately reported the matter to Stanley Ho. Stanley Ho chuckled and said, "Since ancient times, there has always been time for passion and hatred. I think Ye Fang is very busy."

Stanley Ho himself has his wife Sifang, who is well aware of the balancing relationship involved, which involves not only feelings, but also interests. Fortunately, the He family did not care about Ye Fang's little fortune. Stanley Ho knew that He Chaoqiong was just angry. Although she could not declare her relationship with Ye Fang to the world in a big way due to various reasons, it did not hinder her. I have to take this breath out.

The main room, including He Chaoqiong and Su Yue, all know what it means to Ye Fang. It is a relationship that cannot be let go. Now that Ye Fang allows Nan Yi to move into the main house, it means that he has let go of Xiaozhuang. This also means that Everyone can compete for that position, including Su Yue and He Chaoqiong.

If that room had been vacant, no one would have any idea, and everyone could live in peace. But now that Nan Yi, a woman, came from behind, this was the reason why Su Yue and He Chaoqiong were not convinced, so the two women went straight to kill them. Beijing.
