Tang Haochu raised the wine glass in his hand and pointed in the direction of Jiang Wei, "Boss Fu, I'm going to give the congratulatory gifts first."

Jiang Wei had already walked towards Tang Haochu's side, and Tang Haochu seemed to wait for Jiang Wei to come before moving forward - the honored guest was supposed to be greeted by the host himself.Tang Haochu immediately raised his feet and walked towards Jiang Wei, followed by Liu Ying who was protecting him closely. The lights in the banquet hall were extremely bright, which made his complexion look whiter, and even the hand holding the wine glass shimmered.

Fu Chengyan stood where he was, looking at Tang Haochu who was getting further and further away from him.The young man's walking posture is the same as his talking, slow, methodical and graceful, never feeling very urgent, but it makes people feel that everything is disappearing quickly.It seemed that in just a short while, he would be able to leave very far away, and even disappear as if he had never appeared before.

Regardless of whether Tang Haochu or Jiang Wei, they are both eye-catching bosses, and the two happened to meet at the most conspicuous place in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.Tang Haochu’s congratulatory gift was an exquisite Jade Buddha, a treasure for those who know how to know it, but Liu Ying had always held the gift, and it was also handed over to Jiang Wei by Liu Ying. hands.

This congratulatory gift was pretty good, and it was fine in all aspects, but Tang Haochu's attitude was a bit casual, at least he had to hand it over to show respect.Few people can put on such a casual air in front of Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei is not only not angry, but very eager, even surprised his subordinates and relatives who are used to his violent and ruthless side.

Grinding his teeth with hatred in his heart, but still laughing and saying that he is flourishing in front of people, this is the face of a politician.Tang Haochu also raised his lips and smiled. The smile was very shallow. The light from the crystal chandelier shone in his beautiful eyes, like the moonlight rippling in the water. Only those who dared to jump into the water could see the bright colors and elegance.

In the eyes of the boss, life is probably a game of cards, even a simple and clear game, drawing cards, playing chess, weighing, and finalizing the game.No matter how many turbulent undercurrents and bloody storms there are, there is still a chance of victory, and there is no rush.

At this time, Wei Ming, the general of Qingzhou, came late.

It was the first time Tang Haochu saw Wei Ming with his own eyes, so his expression was not warm. He only briefly greeted Wei Ming under Jiang Wei's introduction. Besides, he was just a guest, so naturally he couldn't overwhelm the guest. An opportunity to quietly retreat from the center position.But Wei Ming was very warm to him, and he didn't care about his casual attitude, and his words and deeds showed that he really wanted to deal with him.

Qingzhou is located at the southernmost tip, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has not been affected by the wars these years, but its presence is relatively low, just like Wei Ming himself.His appearance is not bad, and he looks a little younger than his actual age, but his temperament is very ordinary, he really doesn't look like a handsome man.As the protagonist of the engagement banquet, he arrived later than the guests. Although it was not enough to show that he didn't pay much attention to the engagement banquet, or that he didn't want to marry Jiang Wei, it could explain Jiang Wei's urgency from the side.

——So Jiang Wei's financial deficit may be more serious than Tang Haochu imagined.

Tang Haochu didn't take a sip of the wine he took just now, but casually threw the glass of wine on the waiter's tray, and went to the buffet counter to get a new glass.The bony fingers rested casually on the edge of the table, slender and delicate, just like the effect carefully drawn by an artist.

In fact, it's not just his hands. In the eyes of people around him, his whole body looks like a carefully drawn painting, especially those of the opposite sex who are easily moved by appearance, it is difficult to resist such a powerful killer of appearance, and even some bold women The child couldn't help walking towards him.

The little boss tilted his head as if aware of it, and held up the goblet gracefully, showing his perfect face to the extreme.He still has a casual attitude towards these girls who surround him, but it doesn't make people feel disrespectful, but more attractive.

Fu Chengyan still watched Tang Haochu from a distance without looking away, but his sight was almost blocked by the girls surrounding Tang Haochu.Although Tang Haochu's attitude was casual, he did not ignore people. He even talked to everyone who came to strike up a conversation, but he never looked back at Fu Chengyan.

Fu Chengyan finally lowered his head - he could no longer watch the picture of Tang Haochu with those girls, because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but rush over.So his eyes fell on the ground, looking at his toes and the small piece of floor beside his feet.

The floor vibrates slightly with the footsteps coming and going, and there is a sound of thumping when the high heels are stepped on, and there is a rattling sound due to the leather shoes.In addition, there were voices of various people around, the sound of music played by musicians, and the sound of clinking glasses. In this noisy environment, Fu Chengyan found that he could still capture Tang Haochu's smile and whispers.

It is obviously very light, but it seems to have its own gravity, and it is transmitted to the ears.

Fu Chengyan used to like Tang Haochu's smile the most, even a slight smile made him feel sweet.Without looking up, he can also imagine him smiling and whispering, like a smart and beautiful little fox, exuding charm unconsciously, his every move is elegant and eye-catching, and he has captured several hearts in just a few minutes.

After all, Fu Chengyan couldn't help raising his head, but he happened to see Tang Haochu leaning over slightly, kissing a girl.Perhaps it was because the temperature in the banquet hall was relatively high, or Tang Haochu's drinking capacity was too low. Tang Haochu obviously only took a sip of wine, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, and his dark eyes were unparalleled. Looking at it from Fu Chengyan's perspective, It felt like he had kissed that girl.

Knowing that it was just a face-to-face gift, Fu Chengyan's heart was still sore and bitter, as if sour water poured out of his heart uncontrollably, and then poured into his stomach, even his tongue was bitter.

And this is just a normal foreign face-to-face gift. Those girlfriends Tang Haochu has dated, such as Miss Li and Miss Yang reported in the newspaper, and other objects he will date or even marry in the future, he will definitely do it with them. More intimate gestures.Thinking of these possible intimate scenes, Fu Chengyan felt like a fire was burning in his heart, or he fell into the bitterly cold icy water.

Fu Chengyan clenched his fist unconsciously, and his body even trembled slightly. ——How can there be such a thing in this world, which can put people to death invisibly, and the biting ice water rises little by little, submerging Fu Chengyan's whole body, from mouth and nose to ears, and even eyes sink into it underwater.

As a result, the world seemed to be separated by a layer of broken ice or thick frosted glass, everything was distorted, until a voice came faintly at this moment, "Boss Fu, Boss Fu?"

It was a government official who had a good personal relationship with the Fu family. Seeing Fu Chengyan standing here alone, he greeted him, "What is Boss Fu thinking?"

Fu Chengyan turned his head slowly to look at the person who greeted him, and then turned his head to look at other people around the hall.The banquet was very luxuriously arranged, and the people who could come in were either high-ranking officials or nobles, or wealthy gentry and merchants. They all dressed exquisitely and decently, but they were just wearing a bright and beautiful coat, and the inside was all decayed and festered. Even the banquet itself was built on top of the ruins.

Fu Chengyan suddenly felt a little tired, and suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.A dazed and negative emotion occupied his brain, and he didn't even quite understand what he was standing here for.

"I didn't think about anything." Fu Chengyan shook his head and replied, "I might have drunk too much."

He did hold a wine glass in his hand, but like Tang Haochu, he only took a sip from the beginning to the end.After finishing speaking, he put the cup on the table, lifted his feet and walked outside, wanting to go outside for some fresh air, or leave here altogether.

The musicians on the dance floor played dance music at some point, and everyone went to dance on the dance floor. The colorful skirts and lamp shadows were reflected on the marble floor as bright as a mirror, making people dazzled. But in Fu Chengyan's eyes, the world Still as distorted as a layer of shattered ice or frosted glass.He walked around the dance floor without distraction, and was about to step out the door when he was stopped by the assistant who accompanied him to the banquet and asked him where he was going.

The assistant thought that Fu Chengyan was not feeling well, so his tone was clearly worried. Fu Chengyan stopped shortly, turned his head to answer, but opened his eyes slightly as he swept across the dance floor.

Tang Haochu was also on the dance floor——at the moment when the dance music started, he left the girls surrounding him and walked towards a woman in a black dress who was sitting alone in a corner drinking, and invited her to the first dance.The woman seemed a little drunk, and looked at Tang Haochu even with displeasure, but for some reason, she agreed to Tang Haochu's invitation and entered the dance floor with him.

Originally, the dance floor was full of couples dancing, but at this moment, the entire dance floor became their world.Because the two of them were so dazzling, that even other people on the dance floor couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Only listening to the music, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, the slender military trousers chased the flying skirt and swayed through a few fast-paced circles, and then spun with a lyrical turn to create a lingering and romantic melody. A dream that seems real.Until the flute and cello entered into a grandiose and dying carnival together, the dance steps became enthusiastic and changeable, and the jumps and turns were dizzying. Tang Haochu finally followed the tune and hugged his partner for half a circle at the end of the dance. ——Woman’s As a result, the black hair and the hem of the skirt are lifted up, like a butterfly with beautiful wings, while Tang Haochu's tall and straight figure and delicate side profile bring out a mysterious and suffocating sex appeal in the light and shadow, even the jaw line to the neck The lines are full of looming and blatant temptation.

When the footsteps finally stood still, the young man's clothes and hair stopped flying slightly, and the thousands of waves seemed to be still for a moment.At this moment, Fu Chengyan felt that the whole world was at a standstill, and he didn't know who had bumped into who's eager eyes. In an instant, it was like a foot stepped on the starlight, and the stars scattered across the sky.

Everything was like pressing the pause button. There were many people talking beside him, but Fu Chengyan felt that it was terribly quiet, only the sound of his own heartbeat was left, drumming his eardrums noisily.

His heartbeat was so fast that it was hard to breathe, the ice and frosted glass wrapped around him collapsed, the whole world returned to normal from the distorted state, and he also saw everything around him clearly again.

——All this is really meaningless, only the boy in front of him is meaningful.

Fu Chengyan raised his hand and unbuttoned a button on the collar of his shirt, and took a deep breath.Suddenly I remembered the scene when I saw Tang Haochu for the first time. The weather was fine that day. He was sitting in the coffee shop. The gray and white life has a different color since then.After having dinner with the boy that night, he left the driver and walked back alone. The wind was so strong that his hands and feet were completely cold, but his chest was inexplicably hot, and his heart felt soft.

As soon as he recalled the past, Fu Chengyan's heart ached again, as if being sliced ​​open by a knife, no blood could be seen, but the pain was unbearable.

And this pain also made his mind completely clear.

He wants to be with him again.

Fu Chengyan strode forward and directly grabbed Tang Haochu's wrist.

Tang Haochu had just finished dancing and left the dance floor. He was talking to the woman in the black skirt when Fu Chengyan grabbed him so tightly that he couldn't break free for a while.He raised his head and bumped into the man's eyes, those eyes no longer concealed his emotions, they were full of deep love and desire. ——Fortunately, Fu Chengyan's expression is still normal. If you don't look at his eyes, you can't see anything unusual. He asked the woman in the black skirt in a steady and polite tone: "I have something to talk to Tang Shaoshuai. Let me go for a while, Miss Jiang won't mind, right?"

Tang Haochu, who had just asked Jiang Ying's name just now, was a little surprised by the acquaintance between Fu Chengyan and Jiang Ying, and was slightly taken aback. In the debut, the already beautiful appearance is even more beautiful under the background of the dress.

All eyes turned to her, but Fu Chengyan pulled Tang Haochu away from the spot and walked outside.

The two walked all the way outside the banquet hall.

The distance was very short, but many thoughts flashed through Fu Chengyan's mind, even things from his childhood.Although he is a legitimate son, he is not valued by his father, so he was taught by his mother since he was a child to be steady and restrained, to keep his emotions out of the way, to move towards his goal without distraction, and not to indulge in anything else.

Fu Chengyan has always been doing the same way. From studying abroad to doing business, from forbearance to seizing power, he has come to where he is today step by step without a single mistake. But at the same time, he especially admires those who can live a short life brilliantly. Incomparable and wanton indulgence.

Life is short, and it’s not a waste to live it vigorously. It’s not like him, step-by-step, rigid and boring, but flamboyant and dazzling. Also bad unique.

Tang Haochu is exactly such a person.

Maybe everyone's fate is written at the beginning, no matter how you choose, you can't get rid of the destined ending, because a person's character and preferences determine his choice, even if he does it all over again, he will still walk on the same path, love on the same people.

This is probably the so-called fate, and no one can break free.

After Tang Haochu came back to his senses, he broke free from Fu Chengyan's hand.

But he didn't turn around and walk away, and walked silently with Fu Chengyan to a hidden and elegant corner, and then used his ability to confirm that there was no one else around, before saying, "What's the matter, Boss Fu?"

Fu Chengyan opened his mouth with jealousy, "Why are you dancing with other women?"

Tang Haochu didn't answer, just said: "We have already broken up."

"That was unilaterally proposed by you," Fu Chengyan took Tang Haochu's hand again, "I didn't agree, so I can't count."

Before, he was only focused on bringing people out and had no time to think about other things, but now Fu Chengyan clearly felt that Tang Haochu seemed to have lost weight again.His appetite seems to have always been poor. Compared with normal young people, he was always on the thin side. During the few days when he went to the military camp to find him, the most important thing every day was to watch him eat, and he tried every means to make him eat more every meal. A little bit, but I dare not persuade it explicitly.

So Fu Chengyan couldn't help but asked, "You've lost weight, haven't you eaten well? How's your body? Are you injured?"

Tang Haochu's face was almost completely hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was still alienated and polite, "I'm fine, thank you Boss Fu for your concern."

Fu Chengyan hated his polite attitude, and hated his words Boss Fu even more. When he recalled the "Cheng Yan" he once called, his heart ached again. The muscles of his whole body tensed up, and the strength in his hands also increased. , "Be with me again, Haochu,...you also like me, right?"

Tang Haochu lowered his head not to look at Fu Chengyan's face, and hardened his heart: "I do like you, but I still want to try other possibilities, and I don't want to be trapped so early. You can also try others,—— There are so many people, smart, beautiful, gentle and lovely, just like the flowers in the flower market, Yingying Yanyan, in various poses..."

"I went to the flower market to look at the flowers," Fu Chengyan interrupted Tang Haochu, "When I was talking about business, I saw a clothing company selecting models. They are indeed beautiful and beautiful."

He paused for a few seconds before continuing: "But no matter how beautiful a flower is, it's just a flower. People can't fall in love with flowers. Even if they can, among countless flowers, only the one that I have poured my heart and soul into feels beautiful and harmonious." precious."

Tang Haochu remembered that Tang Fengnan from the previous world had said similar things.

People are very strange, they can muddle through many things, and get things done hastily, except for feelings.For example, you don’t have to look at the scenery praised by others, and feel as happy as staying at home. Others say that you don’t need to follow the trend to buy fashionable clothes, and you feel that the ones you are used to wearing are the most comfortable, and it doesn’t matter if the food is not the best. Home-cooked food is equally delicious, but if you don’t get the person you like, or you can’t be with the person you really love in this life, you will feel uneasy when you think about it.

Tang Haochu couldn't find anything to refute Fu Chengyan for a while——he suddenly wanted to express his true feelings to the other party, and wanted to tell him about the mission as well, but according to the system's regulations, he could not confide a single word about the system.In silence, Fu Chengyan asked: "Haochu, what is your dream?"

The topic changed so suddenly, Tang Haochu thought for a while before saying: "If dreams are something I want to do, I want to unify the entire federal state."

Judging from the current situation, unification is difficult, but Fu Chengyan did not show any expression of surprise or surprise, and just continued to ask: "Then do you know what I want to do?"

Tang Haochu subconsciously shook his head.

"I want to help you." Fu Chengyan said word by word: "I can help you."

Tang Haochu looked up at Fu Chengyan in a daze, and was kissed lightly on the forehead.After Fu Chengyan finished kissing, he turned his lips to Tang Haochu's ear and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to fight Zhongzhou next? You can't fight without money. Before Jiang Wei sent troops, he borrowed a lot of money, even with coal mines and The railway borrowed a sum of money from foreign countries as collateral.”

Tang Haochu was a little surprised that Fu Chengyan knew about this, but the loan problem is also an old problem left by Zhongzhou.The financial resources of Zhongzhou's division are difficult to support the huge system, and they rely on loans to fight. However, the high interest rate and the increasingly complicated system require more loans. This is simply a vicious circle.Jiang Weihui recognized Gao Rongsheng, the leader of the Hong gang, as his godson and secretly supported the gang forces in order to collect money.

"So the best weapon to attack Zhongzhou is not guns, but silver bullets."

As the name suggests, the silver bullet is money. Fu Chengyan said this in a tone like an outsider rather than a Zhongzhou native, and continued: "The gangsters can indeed help the government to collect money, provided they do not seek personal gain for themselves. Unfortunately, Gao Rongsheng Jiang Wei is more scheming, and his power is almost stronger than the government. Now the two of them have conflicts, and another of Jiang Wei's cronies is also very dissatisfied with him because of money. Using a silver bullet offensive is not afraid of those who are ungrateful for profit If people don’t turn back, if they make good use of it, it’s even possible to win without using force.”

Tang Haochu did have such an idea, but he didn't expect Fu Chengyan to coincide with his thoughts.He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but his ears were itchy and crisp from Fu Chengyan's breath, so he hid twice without doing so.

Fortunately, Fu Chengyan finally straightened up, moved his lips away from his sensitive auricles, looked into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Not to mention the Shunxing Chamber of Commerce, the assets that can be transferred out of my hands in a hurry are a full [-] million silver dollars .If investment is added, the amount can be multiplied three times.”

Fu Chengyan looked at Tang Haochu firmly, his eyes were terribly deep, like the surface of calm water with turbulent waves hidden.Bright waves were still shining on the water, "I will do my best to help you, as long as you are willing to come back to me."

Tang Haochu frowned slightly, "Boss Fu is trying to lure you?"

Fu Chengyan paused, but still nodded. ——He refused to talk about his feelings with him, so he talked about his interests with him.
