After Dawn (Bing Kuai'er)

A month later.

The gate of the Municipal Prison.

Except for a straight concrete road outside the outer wall, it should have been a desolate weedy field with few people. However, at this moment, it was blocked by bustling reporters and fans.

"It is reported that Mr. Li Zhenghong, the former richest man in this city, will be released early today." The TV reporter held up the microphone and said to the camera, "It is also reported that there is sufficient evidence to reverse the case of Mr. Li Zhenghong, and he will be released soon. The legal process. Whether the news is reliable or not is still open to question, let me first interview passers-by for their views on this matter.”

The reporter walked up to a fan holding a banner with a microphone and asked, "Hello, do you know Mr. Li Zhenghong?"

Fans waved their hands excitedly, and laughed upon hearing this: "Sister, don't you ask this question knowingly, whoever comes here doesn't know that he is Li Luo's father."

Reporter: "So you are here to support Li Luo?"

Fans shook their heads: "The main reason is to support Papa Li, the old man has suffered too much, he has been framed for so many years."

Reporter: "There is no formal prosecution yet, how can you be sure that you were framed?"

Fan: "The analysis on the Internet is mixed. It must be the bad things of the Duan family and his son. Otherwise, why have they been arrested and imprisoned a while ago and have not been released yet? Isn't the sex-transaction case closed? Explain There are other cases! When Su Zhi exposed her husband's cheating in marriage, I knew it was not a good thing, but I didn't expect it to be worse than I imagined."

Reporter: "Then what do you think—"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The fans standing in the front row suddenly yelled, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The reporter hurriedly greeted the photographer: "Hurry up! Squeeze forward, where are the Liluo people?"

Seeing that the crowd is getting more and more commotion, although some fans are trying to maintain order, but the crowd is so chaotic, it is inevitable that there will be crowding and shoving. Squeeze forward, especially reporters who want to take photos at the first time.

Fortunately, the prison guards were well prepared, and they insisted on opening a road amidst the crowds, and escorted them half way.The rest of the journey was handed over to the Li family's bodyguards.

Li Zhenghong had never seen such a big battle when he was in prison, he couldn't help turning his head and said: "Son, you can hang out outside."

Li Luo was wearing sunglasses, with a stern face under the frequent flashing lights, ignoring all reporters' questions, and helping his father stride forward, only the sound of the shutter and cheering from the fans could be heard in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything else at all. of.

It took more than five minutes to walk a short distance of tens of meters. As soon as they got into the car, the bodyguards outside the car immediately went to the front of the car to clear the way for them. A circle of people.

In order to prevent people from chasing the car, the driver drove on a small road with seven turns and eight turns. After half an hour, he finally got rid of all the reporters and joined the car at the designated place.

Li Zhenghong was escorted by the bodyguards, and he was very happy to see this posture: "Are you guys making a movie?"

Li Luo: "Dad, some paparazzi can memorize license plates. I'll ask the bodyguards to drive this car away. Let them chase after you. Besides, I want you to meet someone."

"Who?" Li Zhenghong just asked, and immediately understood, "Oh, so who is it?"

The two of them walked to another commercial vehicle that came to meet him. Before opening the door, Li Luo turned around and said, "Dad, be kind to him, don't scare him."

"It depends on my mood." Li Zhenghong has put on a majestic demeanor, not humane at all, "Although he has helped our family a lot, in the final analysis, part of our family's affairs are caused by him .”

Li Luo let go of the door handle: "If you want to do this, I won't let you get in the car."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the door opened from the inside.

"Mr. Li, please get in the car as soon as possible, lest reporters catch up." Duan Mingyang held the door of the car to make way for the two of them.

Li Luo said inwardly that he was sorry, but his father had already boarded the car, so he had no choice but to follow, and sat next to Duan Mingyang.

Li Zhenghong sat down next to Feng Zhian, and greeted Feng Zhian in a mild tone, but when he turned his head, he immediately smiled seriously.

"Master Duan."

Duan Mingyang immediately sat up straight, like a student being criticized by a teacher: "Mr. Li, I am no longer the young master of the Duan family."

"What do you mean?"

"I have given up my right of inheritance and my position in the Duan family. The formalities have been completed, and now I have nothing to do with the Duan family."

"Oh." Li Zhenghong glanced at him lightly, "So you are nothing now?"

Li Luo saw Duan Mingyang's hand on his knee clenched into a fist, and couldn't help complaining: "Dad, why are you talking?"

Li Zhenghong: "I'm clarifying the facts. Without the title of 'Master Duan', he has lost his status. He can only start from 'nothing'. Am I right, Xiao Duan?"

"Mr. Li is right." Duan Mingyang said, "But even if I don't have this title, I can still win a new title on my own, which is worthy of your son's title. Please rest assured."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the car fell silent.

Although the relationship between the two of them is no longer a secret, Duan Mingyang obviously wanted to get a clear and positive answer when he said these words in front of the two elders.

Li Luo quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes from behind, and pressed his forehead against his broad back.

I silently said in my heart: You are worthy, and you are worthy now.

"You deserve it if you say you deserve it?" Li Zhenghong snorted coldly, "Although I'm not an old antique, I can't hand over my son to a person who can only write verbal checks. I'll wait until you fulfill your promise. Bar."

Li Luo raised his head abruptly, staring at his father and mouthing: "You are enough."

Li Zhenghong turned a blind eye and waved his hand: "Okay, I won't say much else, just such a small request, and we will talk about whether you are worthy or not after you are worth more than [-] million. My son is also a big star after all, you just didn't See how many fans there are at the gate of the prison, so many people like him, he has a lot of choices, if you want to win, how can you not show some strength."

Li Luo couldn't bear it anymore: "Dad, Ming Yang's company is just starting up now, and it will be worth over [-] million at least two or three years, so you plan to make me wait for two or three years? Ming Yang, ignore him, my dad is just kidding you .”

Duan Mingyang turned his head to signal him not to speak, and then looked at Li Zhenghong: "Mr. Li, thank you for your generosity."

Li Luo: "Huh?"

Li Zhenghong was also a little surprised: "You still think I'm magnanimous?"

Duan Mingyang nodded: "You didn't care about the past, you let me go, thank you. I know that you made this request, and you didn't mean to embarrass me. It was just to ensure that my sincerity towards Li Luo was true, so I think, you A magnanimous and good father indeed."

The corner of Li Zhenghong's mouth raised slightly for a moment, and immediately coughed twice, then put on airs: "Then you should work hard."

"Yeah." Duan Mingyang held the hand of the person behind him, speaking earnestly, "I will do my best."

Li Luo slapped him: "You are stupid, what did you promise, my dad is trying to test you!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Feng Zhi'an, who had been listening for a long time, said, "I have a few words to say."

Li Zhenghong looked at him: "Do you want to make some requests?"

"I'm not as bad-hearted as you." Feng Zhi'an smiled, and looked at Duan Mingyang, "Xiao Duan, do you want to take my place? Although I'm worth less than [-] million now, adding your company should be enough, you As long as you agree, you can take us A Luo home anytime."

Li Luo immediately shouted happily: "Uncle Feng is still good to me!"

Li Zhenghong was stunned for a while: "How can you turn your elbow outward?"

Feng Zhi'an: "Where is Xiao Duan an outsider, don't torture them, isn't the torture they have experienced enough?"

Li Zhenghong: "But no matter what you do, you can't give up your position. How can the company operate without you?"

Feng Zhi'an comforted him: "I didn't say that I would let him go out immediately, but I would hand it over to him slowly so that he could get familiar with the business first. He had experience in managing a large group before, he was young and promising, and he was still part of his own family. He could be trusted. Let him It couldn't be more suitable to pick me up."

Li Zhenghong: "I don't agree, as long as I stay in this position for a day, the second in command of the group can only be you."

Li Luo clicked his tongue and said, "Why are you so domineering? How many years has Uncle Feng been working for our family? He managed the group by himself during your absence. The burden is heavy. Now that you are back, he is not allowed to enjoy it." Qingfu, have you rested?"

"It's not just me who should take a rest." Feng Zhi'an patted Li Zhenghong's shoulder, "Zhenghong, you should also take a rest. We are all old and have been busy with our careers for half our lives. We have tasted the sweetness and the bitterness." , but didn’t enjoy your own life well, don’t you feel regretful? It’s time to leave the career to their juniors to worry about.”

After hearing this, Li Zhenghong didn't refute for a while, and seemed a little moved.

Feng Zhian strikes while the iron is hot: "When we let go completely, we will go to travel around the world. When you were in prison, didn't you keep saying that you should go see the outside world more after you get out? I will accompany you, and we can go to Japan to enjoy cherry blossoms , go to the Caribbean to see the sea, go to Turkey to ride a hot air balloon, isn’t it much happier than you are in the office facing a pile of documents?”

Li Zhenghong finally smiled: "When you say that, I really want to retire."

Just as Li Luo was about to cheer and celebrate, he suddenly had a second thought, no, they chatted here for a long time, and they haven't consulted Duan Mingyang yet.

It is a good thing to be able to reach the sky in one step, but what if a person with such strong self-esteem like Duan Mingyang refuses to be the door-to-door son-in-law and prefers to start from scratch?Then he still has to wait a few years.

"Mingyang, what do you think?" While his father was discussing with Uncle Feng, Li Luo whispered in Duan Mingyang's ear, "Uncle Feng's proposal is also for our own good, not because you think you can make money by yourself. It's less than that much money, don't get me wrong..."

Duan Mingyang tilted his head: "Are you worried that I will refuse?"

Li Luo nodded slightly.

"You think too much, Mr. Li." Duan Mingyang raised his hand and rubbed his hair, "For you, I can even serve the Duan family, how could I refuse to serve your family."

Li Luo's heart seemed to be filled with honey, almost overflowing with sweetness, and without thinking, he leaned over and smacked Duan Mingyang's cheek heavily: "I love you!"

The two people who were discussing retirement life on the opposite side fell silent for a moment.

"Look at him, hey!" Li Zhenghong hated that iron could not become a steel road, "I was trying to secure protection for him, but he was lucky enough to take the initiative to pack himself up and give it to others."

Feng Zhi'an: "The two of them have a good relationship, isn't that the greatest guarantee? Don't worry, I can see Xiao Duan's character and ability. It's no problem to hand over the company and A Luo to him. You say yes, Duan?"

Duan Mingyang nodded: "No problem."

No one is helping, Li Zhenghong can't go on acting alone: ​​"Okay, okay, you all unite to deal with me, what choice do I have, my son must let go. But Comrade Duan, I still have to test my business You for a while. Before I completely hand over the group to you, you have to let me see your strength. Double the profit, can you?"

"Yes." Duan Mingyang did not hesitate.

Li Luo complained: "Wow, Dad, you are too thieves. You said it was a test, but you actually want Ming Yang to help you make money."

Li Zhenghong was quite proud: "This is one of your father's business rules: when you have to cede something, you must maximize the benefits brought by the cession. Learn from it."

Li Luo didn't bother to argue with him, and pulled Duan Mingyang's sleeve: "You earn slowly, let him be the chairman of the board for a few more years, and experience the hard work, anyway, he is strong and strong."

Li Zhenghong pricked up his ears: "I heard it! Unfilial son!"

Feng Zhi'an quickly diverted his attention, and continued to discuss with him about the beautiful life after retirement. After a while, Li Zhenghong's hearty laughter sounded again in the car.

"I, Uncle Feng, have a way of coaxing my father into submission." Li Luo whispered.

Duan Mingyang turned his head and said in a low voice, "I'm a little envious of you."

"Huh? Why?"

"Your father loves you very much, and you have a very good relationship."

Li Luo touched his face and smiled sweetly at him: "Your mother loves you very much too, let's go meet your mother together some other day."

"it is good."

Li Luo hugged him and smoothed his slightly wrinkled brows: "One of us lacks the love of a mother, and the other lacks the love of a father. We can complement each other and make a natural pair."

Duan Mingyang also laughed when he heard the words, and opened his arms to wrap his arms around him, facing the bright and warm sunshine outside the car window, as if he was also embracing the light.

"Well, a match made in heaven."
