Steal out and knock on Yunxiu's door.
Before elementary school, Yunxiu moved to the next room.That guy has a habit of sleeping with his doors locked.Auntie and Dad's bedroom is at the end of the corridor. Although there are still two rooms separated, he only dares to knock on the door like a squirrel knocking on a pine cone.
I knocked a few times, but no one answered.Knock again, the door is still not open.Bai Yuan thought, I am really angry today.He stood in the corridor, leaned against the crack of the door, and whispered, "Yunxiu..."
In the room, Yunxiu had already fallen asleep lying on the bed, and didn't hear anything.He dreamed that he was walking on a road with the lights on, but he couldn't see the road ahead and could only move forward by feeling.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, he didn't dare to look back, and started to run forward desperately.But the schoolbag on my body is too heavy, so I can't run fast.A few black shadows kept chasing behind...
☆、Conspiracy partner
In today's newspapers, some reports satirized the business model of the program real estate, ridiculed that Cheng Xiong is an entrepreneur who relies on bitterness to play tricks, and always makes some small business that does not hurt the capital and packs it into charity to win the favor of consumers.
Cheng Xiong just sat down, he couldn't turn the pages, but he happened to turn to this report.He was so angry that he slapped the desktop, his eyes were blazing, and he deliberately looked at the reporter's signature a few more times: You bastard!For a moment, I wished I could drag that person out from under the words and whip him.
Shen Daocheng pushed the door open and came in.This is a short and fat man with slender eyes and black-rimmed glasses on a fat nose, but his face is disproportionately bulging.His thick lips are always slightly grinning, showing his big white teeth, like a fat beaver trying to build a dam with a branch in its mouth.Anyone who sees him for the first time will think that he is an easy-going person.As everyone knows, this seemingly simple and honest young man is extremely dark and cunning in his heart. Only those who have suffered a lot will be impressed with his tolerant appearance again.
He is a lawyer and the queen legal advisor of Program Real Estate.Specifically, Shen Daocheng is a good hand whenever it is necessary to use legal means to protect the rights and interests of the company, including playing around the edges of the law to win income-generating opportunities for the company.He has won the trust of Cheng Xiong. On the one hand, this person is decisive in handling affairs, never procrastinating, and is quite handy in dealing with things that are not within his business scope; on the other hand, he is not arrogant and respectful everywhere Be respectful and polite, keep secrets strictly, never spread what you don't say, and don't ambiguous what you should say.No boss would hate this kind of person.
When Shen Daocheng finished his report, Cheng Xiong still pressed the report with his hand.Finally couldn't hold back anymore, and pushed it to him.
The lawyer blinked his eyes: "Maybe he wants to gain attention? There are so many media reports that are positive, but he is the only one who is singing the opposite."
To be honest, this kind of thing has been seen a lot.In the Jianghu, even a hero who calls the wind and drinks the rain, it is inevitable that he will not attract gossip.Don't care about Shen's meaning, especially this kind of news doesn't have much impact on the company.
But Cheng Xiong refused to let go, and insisted on asking Shen Daocheng to find out the reason.The pudgy man had no choice but to let out a sigh of relief and leave the office with a nod.
Until he went home for dinner at noon, Shen Daocheng still had emotions.This person never brought his emotions to the leaders, but in private, he still said what he should scold, he ate whole grains, and he was not particularly unusual.I thought to myself: Big things, small things, even such big things have to be taken care of!find the reason?You can't go to the newspaper office with a toothpick in your hand, ask the reporter to come out, and ask him what purpose he has to discredit our boss?Furthermore, if he acts according to the order from above, should I still go to the leader for an interview?This kind of thing, how to ask, how to check?It's not worth it if you do it hard, but if you do it softly, people don't take you seriously.
When the car drove into the gate, he was still thinking: the key, so what if you know the reason?If there is one, change it, if not, encourage it?Cheng Xiong has a kingly demeanor in business, but he always cares about these messy things related to the past, he is a contradictory person.
He snorted, turned off the ignition and pulled out the key. He looked up and saw his wife screaming hysterically, just like the famous painting: "The Scream".
Today, she changed into a beige dark floral cheongsam, and her plump belly was squeezed into a ball, making it more conspicuous.Shen Daocheng shook his head and smiled wryly: a woman stays at home all day long, wishing to change her clothes every day.Even if the clothes don't cost money, the laundry fee is scary enough.A woman who has never experienced hardship just can't live a life!
My wife yelled, you've crushed my roses.
Shen Daocheng looked back, sure enough!He knocked his head in frustration, not because he felt sorry for his wife.This is the third time he has crushed the flower garden.This damn woman insists on planting flowers in the middle of the yard, and refuses to build a fence!He is not used to parking garages, and he always finds it troublesome to back and forth.Every time a flower goes bad, the wife has a reason to reorganize the flower garden, which is another expense.It is more cost-effective to grow these useless things all day long than to grow a la carte.
When her daughter ran out, Shen Daocheng reminded her: "Run slowly, my baby, don't trample on your mother's flower!" Jiaqi replied very straightforwardly: "Just find someone to fix it!"
The lawyer sighed and called his wife to come in and set the meal.He fell on the imported Italian leather sofa, stepping on the polished marble floor.Turning his neck, raising his head, he saw the crystal chandelier hanging directly from the second floor... He understood that no matter how capable he was as a small lawyer, it was impossible to earn so much money in just a few years. A family business.And all of this is due to Cheng Xiong, thanks to his insightful eyes.Thinking about it this way, I don't think there is anything to complain about.This is all a matter of duty, who told him to take more money.
But for Cheng Xiong, he has his own secret pain.Speaking of his misery, he admitted that the journey was not easy, but his words were full of sarcasm, saying that he was showing off, and he couldn't bear it.A fledgling guy who really thinks he is Zhuge Liang, the uncrowned king, can make rash comments?
He clearly remembered the first day he went to work in programming.At that time, Cheng Shi was just a processing factory for sealing parts.The old man was good at management, and he rose up among the parts suppliers like an army of ants at that time. By the time he abdicated, he had already owned more than ten workshops.
Persuaded by Zhou's father, Cheng Xiong was assigned to the workshop to make models.When I was about to eat, a dark and thin young man walked in.
The worker reminded him in a low voice: This is our little boss.
Cheng Xiong immediately understood that this was the son born to the old man's wife.The man walked straight up to him, pouted his mouth as if inspecting a substandard product, and inspected him all over.Then, he strode to the middle and said loudly, "Workers have worked hard, the last batch of orders has been completed very well, and I hope to continue to work hard in the future! I will invite everyone out for a good meal at noon, which is a reward!" Everyone cheered.When the workers greeted each other shoulder to shoulder and went out, he turned to Cheng Xiong and said, "Newcomer, just leave him here to take care of the machine."
The worker immediately let go of his arm.
Cheng Xiong watched them rush out of the gate like a tide, and then looked around the empty workshop, he could not help but slowly clenched his fists.
That night, Father Zhou made an exception and came to chat with him.
The lights in the room gave off a dim light, and the electric fan creaked, making the feeling even hotter.Cheng Xiong sat on the bed against the wall, looking at the man in front of him with a bit of hostility.Father Zhou's smile was treacherous, and the more he looked at it, the more he resembled Zhou Han.
"I heard that the workers pushed you out?"
Cheng Xiong thought, since I was a child, when have I not been excluded?It's the same in the Zhou family, and it's the same in the factory.If he hadn't voted for a good father, he would be a boss with his charisma?
"I know, you have thoughts in your heart, many thoughts. Including thinking, maybe one day, you will become a great success, and you must come to take revenge on those who have hurt you."
Cheng Xiong said in his heart: including you.
Father Zhou seemed to understand his mind, and continued: "You may feel that you have been wronged in our family. But, child, sometimes people have to experience different things and different environments to mature. Wait for you to go out and face the society. , That's right, if you face it now, you will find that the grievances you suffered in our family are not worth mentioning. Women are narrow-minded, but they didn't hurt you, did they?
When you go out, you will know that it is not that you can keep you safe by staying quietly in a corner.After watching TV series, do you know why the ancient emperors were so jealous of their brothers?Not all the princes want to rebel, but even if they live in a quiet corner and have dinner with friends, they will be misunderstood by the emperor.I don't offend people, people will offend you. Only by climbing to that commanding height can you climb high and look far away, and can prevent others from wanting to kill you.
If you are a man, don't worry about how many bowls of rice you eat, how much water you drink, and which one is more favored than you.You have met the old man's eldest son, don't underestimate him, he is very capable in business.If the old man lives longer, you will have something to eat.One day, I might not even be able to maintain this kind of life as a coolie.To put it bluntly, you can be regarded as the young shopkeeper of the factory, but to put it bluntly, when he officially takes the stage, you may not even be as good as a cleaner. "
Cheng Xiong rubbed his toes back and forth while listening.I've heard people say that Zhou's father is an old fox. I saw it today, and it's really good.In Zhou's house for so long, it was the first time he heard him instill chicken soup for life.But what do you mean by saying so much?Is he trying to help me get to the top, so he can reap the benefits?
Father Zhou sat down close to him, and heard the woman muttering dissatisfiedly at the door.He said: "Look, this is a woman. They only look at the short-term and don't know how to take a long-term perspective. I believe you are a capable person, so you have to believe in me. As long as you are willing to express your gratitude after the thing is done, I will Let me help you. To be honest, with your current ability and background, you can only rely on me if you want to be in the top position."
Cheng Xiong was at a loss when he heard it, but the following words made his heart surge. He thought this small living room was stuffy and cramped, but he felt refreshed in an instant.However, when he lay down and thought about it calmly, he found it incredible.For a young man in his early twenties, with no strength and no backing, it is tantamount to fantasy to forcefully drag the already high-ranking son off the throne.But Zhou's father made such a sincere guarantee, which still made him yearn for it.
Cheng Xiong asked him how to do it?
Father Zhou replied mysteriously: "I will tell you when the time comes."
When he went out, he showed a sly smile: "We call mutual benefit and symbiosis."
☆, the cemetery after the rain
On the morning of September [-]th, it just rained.The cemetery was very clean, and there were water stains on the steles, like pieces of furniture that had just been washed.
My aunt was wearing a white shirt and a short red skirt, walking in front with a large bouquet of lilies in her arms.Yun Xiu dawdled behind Bai Yuan.Compared with Qingming Festival, my aunt prefers to visit the grave on her mother's birthday.
Just like the long May Day holiday that has not been implemented for a long time, many people have not yet understood the meaning of the holiday, and the tourist wave of the crowds has already explained its powerful effect.Although the Ching Ming Festival does not have such appeal, when you arrive at the cemetery, you will know that it is also crowded with people on this day, and it is difficult to find a place to stay.Even if it is the territory of your relatives, there will always be ignorant people who cross the border.I was not happy, and the other party said that there were too many people coming, and I really couldn't stand down, forgive me, forgive me.
At times like this, it seems that my sister is not popular here.Sometimes I think about it, on Ching Ming Festival, will those dead souls also face the dilemma of being blocked in the underground passage?Everyone wants to go up to meet relatives and friends, and there will always be chaos.My aunt knew that my mother didn't like to be crowded, so she came here to worship every birthday.Avoiding the peak congestion of the ghosts, my sister can come here at a leisurely pace after washing up properly.
Bai Yuan never really understood the meaning of going to the grave.It was always a pleasure for him to be out and about.Although, the cemetery is really not much fun.Every time I come here, my aunt always has a long conversation in front of the grave, telling my sister about the life she is living in detail.He occasionally imagined whether his mother would be as annoying as himself, but there was nothing he could do about it?It's not easy for her to emerge from behind the stone tablet and grab my aunt by the ear to shut her up.
But for Yunxiu, going to the cemetery is a terrifying thing.He was afraid that these gloomy tombstones, even under a clear sky, could not reduce the gloomy atmosphere, let alone in such gloomy days.But he couldn't say no, before he figured out where to go, my aunt had already dragged him into the car involuntarily.
After a while, my aunt beckoned: "Bai Yuan, come and kneel down, and wish your mother a happy birthday!"
Bai Yuan plopped and knelt in the scent of lilies, kowtowing three times.Yunxiu thought he was going to kneel too, so he rushed over, but my aunt was in a hurry: "Hey, you are not her son, don't kneel!" She thought he was standing too close, and told him to wait a little further away.
Bai Yuan turned his head to look at Yunxiu, and followed him to look up at the sky.The sky is covered with lead clouds, it seems that the rain just now didn't consume half of its energy.A few gray birds flew by, like dark clouds.
My aunt pressed his head, and he sang the birthday song.Singing Happy Birthday to the dead is an unavoidably creepy scene.
After Bai Yuan sang the song, he ran over and took his younger brother to the top of the cemetery, and looked at the buildings and roads down the mountain together.In the past, when my aunt started talking to my mother, he would come here alone and sit in a daze.Now, with the addition of Yunxiu, he can no longer feel the loneliness that he had before.
Yunxiu blinked his eyes, thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to pull up a blade of grass, and asked faintly, "Do you know where my mother is?"
Yun Xiu had this thought for a long time, but he didn't dare to ask.If Dad wanted to tell him, he would have told him a long time ago, if he didn't want to, it was useless to ask.
Kashiwahara was stumped.When the younger brother first arrived at home, he heard the people below discuss that the child was brought home only after the mother died.Later, I heard that my aunt was arguing with my father, and it seems to be the same.Bai Yuan thought that if she was still alive, she would visit the child at least once or twice, but she never did.But if he really died, he should have a stone tablet like his mother.
Feeling unable to answer, he shook his head.A few drops of rain fell from the clouds, as if they fell into Yunxiu's eyes, shining wetly.
Bai Yuan had no way to comfort his younger brother, so he had to point to the road stretching far down the mountain: "Look, that road is so long. Maybe your mother is still alive, but it's just in a place we can't see. When you grow up, walk along this road." If you look for it along this road, you might be able to find it. Perhaps, in a few years, she will come back to you along this road. "
Yunxiu also looked at the road with hope.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Yunxiu felt that it was inappropriate to ask such a question in such a place.There are ghosts everywhere, how can I say it?If he said he was afraid, he was afraid that ghosts would not be happy; if he said he was not afraid, he was afraid that ghosts would come and frighten him.
Bai Yuan said like a little adult: "If I knew her, I wouldn't be afraid. But I don't remember my mother, I only saw the photos. If she appears, I don't know whether I will be afraid or not."
After Yunxiu heard this, he found that he also had this kind of confusion.But his situation is more complicated, he doesn't even know what his mother looks like.Maybe when she appeared, he thought it was a strange ghost and ran away?
He looked at the road, and then thought: Maybe she is just far away?
On the other side, my aunt took out a thin cushion from the bag, and sat down cross-legged like this, completely ignoring the tightness of the bag skirt.This is the advantage of having fewer people, and you don't have to take into account other people's eyes.She took out another pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, took a few puffs, and then began to look back on life like a person with a story.
"Did you see that child? He ran over just now. Big eyes, white skin, more and more like that vixen. Oh, you may not have an impression of that woman. It seems that I only saw it at the annual meeting, that's the one A goblin in a pink dress, a non-sexy woman would never wear such a dress.
Of course, you may not be impressed.When they hook up, you're always busy with your own business.However, no matter how beautiful she is, no matter how seductive she is, she cannot escape the ruthless fate.A few years after you left, she disappeared too.When you died, I didn't see him shed a few tears.Once she died, Bai Yuan's father would be in a bad mood, as if he was going to die.Also heartless.So man, you can't ask him to do something, even if he agrees, he may not think so in his heart.
But it's not easy to rely on yourself, you are not just an example.I'm an idler, I don't have your ability, nor the ability to catch a man, I just make do with it.If it wasn't for your son, I'd rather marry a farmer and live an ordinary life.Others look at me with famous brands and unlimited scenery, but I feel that even smoking, drinking and taking drugs are more enjoyable than the current life. "
The skirt was tied so that her thighs were numb, she shook off the soot, and changed into a mermaid posture: "See Bai Yuan? He is almost growing into a young man, he is our family's seed. But, we are very good with that boy. In front of him In front of his father and I, I didn’t dare to keep it open, and I would run to say nice things behind my back to make him happy. My mother is a rival in love, and it is rare for this next generation to be happy. I don’t know how you feel when you hear it. However, Don't be too sad. Maybe it's too young to understand the grievances and grievances of the previous generation. When I grow up, I want to start a family and branch companies. I think Bai Yuan will have his own plans. I don't eat carrots salty I'm worried.
How about the flower?The flower shop at the gate of the community bought it, but the owner has changed, and the shop still has the same name.The original boss, I don't know where he went.Who can tell clearly about the things in this world, just like you, a few years ago, you were still picking flowers in the store, and after a few years, you came here.People who pass you by may also be thinking, where have you been?Therefore, money, fame and fortune are really irrelevant.Although for me, nothing is going to be crazy.
The kids are back.Next year, I will give you another flower, shall I?Eating a dish all the time always gets boring.You live well there, don't be too strong, a strong person is too tired to live.Don't worry about the kids.Although I am an incompetent aunt, I won't let him get hurt. "
Bai Yuan suddenly roared from behind, and my aunt was so frightened that the butt of her cigarette dropped.She straightened her numb legs and shouted at the tombstone, "Did you see it? Your son!"
On the car back, when passing by the clubhouse, Bai Yuan teased his younger brother again: "Yunxiu, look dead..."
This time, my aunt decisively patted the back of his head.
The author has something to say: Continue to ignore the data, empty yourself, and soar
☆、Late night car accident
In the middle of the night, a sharp brake sound pierced the sky, and everyone in their sleep heard the ear-piercing sound like a sharp weapon cutting through glass.The phone rang loudly in the room, vibrating in the scorched air, as if it would jump up by itself if no one answered it.
Opening his eyes suddenly, he saw Father Zhou who was sweating profusely.He suddenly stood in front of his bed, frightening Cheng Xiong.In the middle of the night, it's okay to keep silent, but in this winter, why are you still sweating?
Father Zhou seemed to be frightened too, seeing him wake up, but not speaking, as if the words were stuck in the middle of the way and could not be uttered.The hand that just answered the phone was still shaking, and he couldn't hide it.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiong's first reaction was: something happened to Zhou Han.Is it dead?The only thing that can make their family's nerves tense is this precious child.But if something happened to him, Father Zhou didn't need to come here to be in a daze.Could it be that the old man died?
"You are talking!"
Father Zhou wiped his face and said, "Something happened. Something serious happened!"
When he learned that it was neither Zhou Han nor the old man, but someone else had the accident, Cheng Xiong also became nervous.
Over the past year, he has done his job well.Due to his diligence and hard work, he was quickly transferred from a mold worker to a production team and became the team leader.The eldest son has a dark face, as long as the old man does not die for a day, the shopkeeper has to obey his father's arrangement honestly.After the promotion letter came out, none of the workers expressed dissatisfaction, and this person really couldn't find fault with his work, so he had no choice but to give up.Besides, a mere group leader is no threat to him.Before he climbed up, maybe the old man would be upside down.
But Cheng Xiong didn't think so, the team leader was doing his best.How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? Take your time, one level a year, keep making progress, and you will not be far from the status of heir.
But at this moment, listening to Father Zhou's intermittent narration, he realized how innocent his previous thoughts were.Shopping malls are like battlefields, there is no pure and clean history of superiors, only palace fighting dramas of life and death.As he listened, he was suddenly seized by another kind of fear, if, if...he couldn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.Like a puppet on a string, under Zhou's father's urging, his mind was blank, his limbs were stiff, and he didn't know how to get up and put on his clothes.
Regardless of the dark night and cold wind, the two hurried out.A few kilometers away from the incident, I finally saw the person who was also trembling.
We met in a small forest, and the branches that stretched out like dry bones scratched people's faces from time to time.After walking a long way in, the three of them stopped at ease.Cheng Xiong glanced around, it was quiet and eerie, behind him was a small shed made of broken thatch, which might be the shelter of the abandoned forest guards.A straw curtain hung down from the roof, blocking most of the entrance.The light was very dim, so I couldn't see the man's face clearly. I could only see him shrinking his shoulders, and his voice sounded like he was about to cry: "Boss, I still have parents and children at home. What should I do now? I can't Jail!"
He kept repeating this sentence, as if he couldn't say anything else.
Zhixiong looked at Zhou's father, Zhou's father was only in a panic at home, and now he was pacing around, not in a hurry, looking quite calm.He taught the man to lower his voice and breathe slowly until his breathing was even.
The old fox was smart, and instead of rushing to confirm the scene, he asked the man to abandon his car and come here on foot to discuss countermeasures.It was also at this time that Cheng Xiong understood his so-called superior strategy.
He hired a rural driver, and after a few days of investigation, he found out the victim's trajectory.These days, because of a big order, the eldest son has to work overtime until late every day.Recently, his car was sent for maintenance. Usually, he asked the driver in the factory to take him to his home in a van, and then walked home slowly after having supper in a 24-hour fast food restaurant.Therefore, the road less than 300 meters long from the fast food restaurant to home has become the best place to start.
At first, Zhou's father just wanted the man to hit him, break his arm or leg, and prevent him from going to work in the factory.In that way, Cheng Xiong will have the opportunity to show his ability in front of the old man, have the opportunity to contact the management, and get promoted faster.You know, just mentioning the group leader, the old man spent a lot of effort, insisting on overcoming the crying of his wife and the cold eyes of his son, and arranged for him to agitate the workers and give play to the mass base.Although Cheng Xiong is young, but if he really has to take his time, he is afraid that he will never be able to wait for his day.The old man is not very old, but his health is not good. One day, he suddenly went there. He has no name or distinction. How can this factory be Cheng Xiong's turn.
Father Zhou is the old man's confidant, but the eldest son doesn't like him at all.Therefore, he was afraid that if the person who supported him couldn't get in, he wouldn't even be able to get along.So, after thinking about it, I came up with this one.But what I didn't expect was that the rural people didn't know how to measure, so they pushed too hard, opened the accelerator and slammed into it, and accidentally overshot it.
Zhou's father asked: "It was really hit and killed? Have you confirmed it?"
The man didn't breathe smoothly for a long time, and became short again, as if he wanted to finish the matter in one breath: "Anyway, when I got down, I saw blood spraying out of my mouth, and then I didn't move. I didn't dare to call the police. It was freezing for a while, and I died if I didn’t hit it. What should I do! You shouldn’t be greedy for this money! Boss, you have to save me, otherwise I’m timid, and the police will definitely tell me everything when they ask me!”
Father Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said patiently: "It's useless to be anxious. Calm down and listen to me. First of all, you are not sure whether you are dead or not. If you are not dead, just pay some money and admit your mistake. I will also compensate you at the original price."
"What about dying?"
"If you die, let me tell you, this is a traffic accident, not intentional homicide, and the sentence will be very light."
The man was anxious: "No, I can't go to jail! If I go to jail, what will my family do? My reputation in the village is bad, where will my parents face?! Besides, my wife and children will be bullied!"
Father Zhou raised his hand, indicating to listen to him first: "If you die, you won't be able to pay the original price. As for you, you may be in prison for a few years, but you and your family will get a much higher price than before. times the price. Think about it, even if you don’t go to jail and work day and night, you can’t earn that much. If you drink alcohol, just tell the police that you drank too much. You have to have a good attitude and be sincere when you admit your mistake. When the time comes, What should be given to you will not be less."
The man seemed a little shaken after hearing this: "But, I'm still scared. What if it's found out on purpose?"
Zhou's father was not going to grind beans with him anymore, so he replied bluntly: "I have told you so much, if you are a smart person, I would have finished talking and left long ago. If something goes wrong, you can't stop talking outside, to whom? No good. The conditions have been clearly stated. Now, you have two options. One is to do what I say; the other is to do what you want, whether you surrender yourself or report us. It's all casual. It's just that, if that's the case, the crime will be aggravated. Besides, I'm asking you to hit me lightly. The murder is completely caused by you. No wonder others. At that time, don't say you can't get money, even if you go to jail, you will be extra favored .Whether you want to get money or get shot, you have to figure it out yourself!"
Rural people are timid in the first place, so they couldn't stand his scare, so they immediately calmed down.After much deliberation, it seemed that he could only follow Father Zhou's wishes.He could only mutter a few words, and groped his way out of the woods.
During their conversation, Cheng Xiong kept shaking involuntarily, not only from the cold body, but also from the shock of his senses.He had never realized that Zhou's father was such a person, with narrowed eyes and the appearance of a gentle scholar.The so-called superior thought that he would bring himself to read at night, study Sun Tzu's art of war, start from the bottom, and fight this tough battle well, but he didn't expect it to be this way!He felt both exciting and scared. After all, he was young and young, so he had never seen such a scene before.
Father Zhou watched the man leave, came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, it seems that we have a lot of work to do when we go back."
I don't know if it was because of being too nervous that there was an illusion. After the man left, Cheng Xiong still heard his deep breathing.
The next day, the newspaper published the news that the son of the program seal factory had died in a car accident.The perpetrator was sent to the police station and sentenced to three years in prison.During the interrogation stage of this case, Cheng Xiong was always worried that the police would suddenly come to his door, and he showed his handcuffs and told him to go to the police station.However, one month or two months passed, and no one came to him.
After the old man died, Cheng Xiong took over the factory smoothly.In those few years, the parts production industry was close to saturation, but people continued to pour into the market.Father Zhou analyzed the situation for him and suggested switching to other industries.Cheng Xiong saw a business opportunity during a business trip, and used the abundant funds on hand to purchase a piece of idle local land.At that time, people were laughing at the newly appointed director of the factory, quitting work and buying land?Is it growing vegetables, or growing parts?Rural people think too much land!But Cheng Xiong has his own plans.
It was not easy to switch to real estate. No matter how cheap the land was at that time, it required a lot of money to design and construct a decent commercial house on a piece of open land.At this time, Zhou's father proposed to restructure the company, turning the family business into a joint-stock company. Those who are interested and have spare money can invest in the shares, and then use the factory area as collateral to apply for bank loans.Cheng Xiong adopted this suggestion. At the same time, due to the successful realization of this theory, Zhou's father also found a way for Cheng Xiong to repay himself: directly give shares.This is much longer than real cash.
But at that time, many old employees felt that this was nonsense and left one after another.Cheng Xiong didn't care, but took the opportunity to reduce the size of the factory.Sure enough, within two years, many component manufacturers who blindly expanded their lines were squeezed by the market, with a large backlog of products, and were forced to close down one after another.And in the past few years, real estate has begun to surge.With his keen market insight, Cheng Xiong successfully made a lot of money.A year later, he completely got rid of the shadow of the parts dealer, and the company officially changed its name to Program Real Estate.
☆、Emerald Necklace
The driver honked at the door, but my aunt couldn't find the jade necklace.
She had searched through all the drawers, even the shoe rack in the cloakroom.I remember putting it back into the jewelry box after using it last time.Will the maid take it away when the auntie comes to clean it?If you don't think about it, she has worked here for so many years, and there has never been anything sneaky about her.It would be possible to change to the previous nanny, but after Yunxiu was sent to the United States, she was fired.
Cheng Xiong personally called to remind him.She had to change into another necklace and hurried downstairs.
Two days later, when the head teacher called, my aunt was sitting in the yard watching the gardener repair the garden.Bai Yuan and Yun Xiu joined in the fun, raised the water hose, and sprayed it on the road outside the railing.
Auntie's expression suddenly changed, and Bai Yuan thought it was because of passers-by who were cursing.She stood up from her chair and walked in front of them sullenly.The two were wondering, so she grabbed Yunxiu by the collar and dragged him into the house.
Bai Yuan didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly followed.When I walked into the living room, I saw my aunt raised her arm, and it was a slap with her hand.
"Did you take my necklace?"
My aunt's face turned red with anger.
Yunxiu avoided looking up at her, and she became even angrier, grabbing his arm and throwing it to the ground, no matter who was there or not.
It was obviously painful, and he wanted to cry but didn't cry.With a daze on his face, he knelt down obediently.
"Why are you so bold? Others donate one or two yuan, but you donate a necklace? Your father has money, so why should he touch my things?!"
Bai Yuan understood what was going on.
It was his idea.Last week, the school organized donations and asked every student to show their love.When it was the first grade's turn to make donations, neither father nor aunt were at home.Yunxiu had no choice but to hold the Mickey Mouse ceramic piggy bank, wanting to drop it but not wanting to.
He saves money like a little money junkie, not because he likes money so much, but because he likes to hear the sound of a coin falling into a ceramic pot. With a "ding", he feels that the coin is safe, hiding in a place where no one can reach out. where to come in.
Bai Yuan could see his reluctance: "Even if it falls, it won't cost much if you take it all, and you will die again."
"Then what should we do? The teacher said that it will be handed in in the afternoon."
My brother thought and thought, and came up with a way.
He slipped into his aunt's bedroom, rummaged around on the dressing table, pretending to be an adult, and said firmly, "She puts everything in a mess, maybe she can find the money."
The money was not found, but a green necklace was found in the drawer.Bai Yuan picked it up and looked at the light from the window, the jade was as clear as glass.He flipped through the palm of his hand a few times before handing it to his younger brother.
The younger brother was a little scared: "The teacher will think it was stolen."
Bai Yuan reasoned to him self-righteously: "The class will start soon, but the money hasn't been found yet. What are you going to pay in the afternoon? This kind of necklace is only valuable with diamonds. This one may be gemstones or glass. If it is expensive, she will I won't let it go casually."
"But if it's glass, the teacher doesn't want it either."
"But this chain is expensive, worth more than the coins in your piggy bank."
Yunxiu still didn't dare to take it.
Bai Yuan encouraged him: "It's okay, when the teacher asked, he said it was from my aunt! If she really doesn't accept it, you can take it back, and ask my aunt for money tomorrow, and then just donate!"
The statement seemed unassailable.In the afternoon, Yunxiu handed in the necklace.When the teacher really asked the reason, he answered exactly as his brother said, and the head teacher believed it.But when it was handed over to the principal's office, I still called the parents out of concerns.That's how things fell apart.
Seeing his aunt's angry face, Bo originally wanted to stand up.But at this time, Cheng Xiong came down from upstairs after hearing the movement.He moved his legs a step forward, then retracted unconsciously.
Seeing his son kneeling on the ground, Cheng Xiong couldn't help frowning.Aunt sees
Before elementary school, Yunxiu moved to the next room.That guy has a habit of sleeping with his doors locked.Auntie and Dad's bedroom is at the end of the corridor. Although there are still two rooms separated, he only dares to knock on the door like a squirrel knocking on a pine cone.
I knocked a few times, but no one answered.Knock again, the door is still not open.Bai Yuan thought, I am really angry today.He stood in the corridor, leaned against the crack of the door, and whispered, "Yunxiu..."
In the room, Yunxiu had already fallen asleep lying on the bed, and didn't hear anything.He dreamed that he was walking on a road with the lights on, but he couldn't see the road ahead and could only move forward by feeling.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, he didn't dare to look back, and started to run forward desperately.But the schoolbag on my body is too heavy, so I can't run fast.A few black shadows kept chasing behind...
☆、Conspiracy partner
In today's newspapers, some reports satirized the business model of the program real estate, ridiculed that Cheng Xiong is an entrepreneur who relies on bitterness to play tricks, and always makes some small business that does not hurt the capital and packs it into charity to win the favor of consumers.
Cheng Xiong just sat down, he couldn't turn the pages, but he happened to turn to this report.He was so angry that he slapped the desktop, his eyes were blazing, and he deliberately looked at the reporter's signature a few more times: You bastard!For a moment, I wished I could drag that person out from under the words and whip him.
Shen Daocheng pushed the door open and came in.This is a short and fat man with slender eyes and black-rimmed glasses on a fat nose, but his face is disproportionately bulging.His thick lips are always slightly grinning, showing his big white teeth, like a fat beaver trying to build a dam with a branch in its mouth.Anyone who sees him for the first time will think that he is an easy-going person.As everyone knows, this seemingly simple and honest young man is extremely dark and cunning in his heart. Only those who have suffered a lot will be impressed with his tolerant appearance again.
He is a lawyer and the queen legal advisor of Program Real Estate.Specifically, Shen Daocheng is a good hand whenever it is necessary to use legal means to protect the rights and interests of the company, including playing around the edges of the law to win income-generating opportunities for the company.He has won the trust of Cheng Xiong. On the one hand, this person is decisive in handling affairs, never procrastinating, and is quite handy in dealing with things that are not within his business scope; on the other hand, he is not arrogant and respectful everywhere Be respectful and polite, keep secrets strictly, never spread what you don't say, and don't ambiguous what you should say.No boss would hate this kind of person.
When Shen Daocheng finished his report, Cheng Xiong still pressed the report with his hand.Finally couldn't hold back anymore, and pushed it to him.
The lawyer blinked his eyes: "Maybe he wants to gain attention? There are so many media reports that are positive, but he is the only one who is singing the opposite."
To be honest, this kind of thing has been seen a lot.In the Jianghu, even a hero who calls the wind and drinks the rain, it is inevitable that he will not attract gossip.Don't care about Shen's meaning, especially this kind of news doesn't have much impact on the company.
But Cheng Xiong refused to let go, and insisted on asking Shen Daocheng to find out the reason.The pudgy man had no choice but to let out a sigh of relief and leave the office with a nod.
Until he went home for dinner at noon, Shen Daocheng still had emotions.This person never brought his emotions to the leaders, but in private, he still said what he should scold, he ate whole grains, and he was not particularly unusual.I thought to myself: Big things, small things, even such big things have to be taken care of!find the reason?You can't go to the newspaper office with a toothpick in your hand, ask the reporter to come out, and ask him what purpose he has to discredit our boss?Furthermore, if he acts according to the order from above, should I still go to the leader for an interview?This kind of thing, how to ask, how to check?It's not worth it if you do it hard, but if you do it softly, people don't take you seriously.
When the car drove into the gate, he was still thinking: the key, so what if you know the reason?If there is one, change it, if not, encourage it?Cheng Xiong has a kingly demeanor in business, but he always cares about these messy things related to the past, he is a contradictory person.
He snorted, turned off the ignition and pulled out the key. He looked up and saw his wife screaming hysterically, just like the famous painting: "The Scream".
Today, she changed into a beige dark floral cheongsam, and her plump belly was squeezed into a ball, making it more conspicuous.Shen Daocheng shook his head and smiled wryly: a woman stays at home all day long, wishing to change her clothes every day.Even if the clothes don't cost money, the laundry fee is scary enough.A woman who has never experienced hardship just can't live a life!
My wife yelled, you've crushed my roses.
Shen Daocheng looked back, sure enough!He knocked his head in frustration, not because he felt sorry for his wife.This is the third time he has crushed the flower garden.This damn woman insists on planting flowers in the middle of the yard, and refuses to build a fence!He is not used to parking garages, and he always finds it troublesome to back and forth.Every time a flower goes bad, the wife has a reason to reorganize the flower garden, which is another expense.It is more cost-effective to grow these useless things all day long than to grow a la carte.
When her daughter ran out, Shen Daocheng reminded her: "Run slowly, my baby, don't trample on your mother's flower!" Jiaqi replied very straightforwardly: "Just find someone to fix it!"
The lawyer sighed and called his wife to come in and set the meal.He fell on the imported Italian leather sofa, stepping on the polished marble floor.Turning his neck, raising his head, he saw the crystal chandelier hanging directly from the second floor... He understood that no matter how capable he was as a small lawyer, it was impossible to earn so much money in just a few years. A family business.And all of this is due to Cheng Xiong, thanks to his insightful eyes.Thinking about it this way, I don't think there is anything to complain about.This is all a matter of duty, who told him to take more money.
But for Cheng Xiong, he has his own secret pain.Speaking of his misery, he admitted that the journey was not easy, but his words were full of sarcasm, saying that he was showing off, and he couldn't bear it.A fledgling guy who really thinks he is Zhuge Liang, the uncrowned king, can make rash comments?
He clearly remembered the first day he went to work in programming.At that time, Cheng Shi was just a processing factory for sealing parts.The old man was good at management, and he rose up among the parts suppliers like an army of ants at that time. By the time he abdicated, he had already owned more than ten workshops.
Persuaded by Zhou's father, Cheng Xiong was assigned to the workshop to make models.When I was about to eat, a dark and thin young man walked in.
The worker reminded him in a low voice: This is our little boss.
Cheng Xiong immediately understood that this was the son born to the old man's wife.The man walked straight up to him, pouted his mouth as if inspecting a substandard product, and inspected him all over.Then, he strode to the middle and said loudly, "Workers have worked hard, the last batch of orders has been completed very well, and I hope to continue to work hard in the future! I will invite everyone out for a good meal at noon, which is a reward!" Everyone cheered.When the workers greeted each other shoulder to shoulder and went out, he turned to Cheng Xiong and said, "Newcomer, just leave him here to take care of the machine."
The worker immediately let go of his arm.
Cheng Xiong watched them rush out of the gate like a tide, and then looked around the empty workshop, he could not help but slowly clenched his fists.
That night, Father Zhou made an exception and came to chat with him.
The lights in the room gave off a dim light, and the electric fan creaked, making the feeling even hotter.Cheng Xiong sat on the bed against the wall, looking at the man in front of him with a bit of hostility.Father Zhou's smile was treacherous, and the more he looked at it, the more he resembled Zhou Han.
"I heard that the workers pushed you out?"
Cheng Xiong thought, since I was a child, when have I not been excluded?It's the same in the Zhou family, and it's the same in the factory.If he hadn't voted for a good father, he would be a boss with his charisma?
"I know, you have thoughts in your heart, many thoughts. Including thinking, maybe one day, you will become a great success, and you must come to take revenge on those who have hurt you."
Cheng Xiong said in his heart: including you.
Father Zhou seemed to understand his mind, and continued: "You may feel that you have been wronged in our family. But, child, sometimes people have to experience different things and different environments to mature. Wait for you to go out and face the society. , That's right, if you face it now, you will find that the grievances you suffered in our family are not worth mentioning. Women are narrow-minded, but they didn't hurt you, did they?
When you go out, you will know that it is not that you can keep you safe by staying quietly in a corner.After watching TV series, do you know why the ancient emperors were so jealous of their brothers?Not all the princes want to rebel, but even if they live in a quiet corner and have dinner with friends, they will be misunderstood by the emperor.I don't offend people, people will offend you. Only by climbing to that commanding height can you climb high and look far away, and can prevent others from wanting to kill you.
If you are a man, don't worry about how many bowls of rice you eat, how much water you drink, and which one is more favored than you.You have met the old man's eldest son, don't underestimate him, he is very capable in business.If the old man lives longer, you will have something to eat.One day, I might not even be able to maintain this kind of life as a coolie.To put it bluntly, you can be regarded as the young shopkeeper of the factory, but to put it bluntly, when he officially takes the stage, you may not even be as good as a cleaner. "
Cheng Xiong rubbed his toes back and forth while listening.I've heard people say that Zhou's father is an old fox. I saw it today, and it's really good.In Zhou's house for so long, it was the first time he heard him instill chicken soup for life.But what do you mean by saying so much?Is he trying to help me get to the top, so he can reap the benefits?
Father Zhou sat down close to him, and heard the woman muttering dissatisfiedly at the door.He said: "Look, this is a woman. They only look at the short-term and don't know how to take a long-term perspective. I believe you are a capable person, so you have to believe in me. As long as you are willing to express your gratitude after the thing is done, I will Let me help you. To be honest, with your current ability and background, you can only rely on me if you want to be in the top position."
Cheng Xiong was at a loss when he heard it, but the following words made his heart surge. He thought this small living room was stuffy and cramped, but he felt refreshed in an instant.However, when he lay down and thought about it calmly, he found it incredible.For a young man in his early twenties, with no strength and no backing, it is tantamount to fantasy to forcefully drag the already high-ranking son off the throne.But Zhou's father made such a sincere guarantee, which still made him yearn for it.
Cheng Xiong asked him how to do it?
Father Zhou replied mysteriously: "I will tell you when the time comes."
When he went out, he showed a sly smile: "We call mutual benefit and symbiosis."
☆, the cemetery after the rain
On the morning of September [-]th, it just rained.The cemetery was very clean, and there were water stains on the steles, like pieces of furniture that had just been washed.
My aunt was wearing a white shirt and a short red skirt, walking in front with a large bouquet of lilies in her arms.Yun Xiu dawdled behind Bai Yuan.Compared with Qingming Festival, my aunt prefers to visit the grave on her mother's birthday.
Just like the long May Day holiday that has not been implemented for a long time, many people have not yet understood the meaning of the holiday, and the tourist wave of the crowds has already explained its powerful effect.Although the Ching Ming Festival does not have such appeal, when you arrive at the cemetery, you will know that it is also crowded with people on this day, and it is difficult to find a place to stay.Even if it is the territory of your relatives, there will always be ignorant people who cross the border.I was not happy, and the other party said that there were too many people coming, and I really couldn't stand down, forgive me, forgive me.
At times like this, it seems that my sister is not popular here.Sometimes I think about it, on Ching Ming Festival, will those dead souls also face the dilemma of being blocked in the underground passage?Everyone wants to go up to meet relatives and friends, and there will always be chaos.My aunt knew that my mother didn't like to be crowded, so she came here to worship every birthday.Avoiding the peak congestion of the ghosts, my sister can come here at a leisurely pace after washing up properly.
Bai Yuan never really understood the meaning of going to the grave.It was always a pleasure for him to be out and about.Although, the cemetery is really not much fun.Every time I come here, my aunt always has a long conversation in front of the grave, telling my sister about the life she is living in detail.He occasionally imagined whether his mother would be as annoying as himself, but there was nothing he could do about it?It's not easy for her to emerge from behind the stone tablet and grab my aunt by the ear to shut her up.
But for Yunxiu, going to the cemetery is a terrifying thing.He was afraid that these gloomy tombstones, even under a clear sky, could not reduce the gloomy atmosphere, let alone in such gloomy days.But he couldn't say no, before he figured out where to go, my aunt had already dragged him into the car involuntarily.
After a while, my aunt beckoned: "Bai Yuan, come and kneel down, and wish your mother a happy birthday!"
Bai Yuan plopped and knelt in the scent of lilies, kowtowing three times.Yunxiu thought he was going to kneel too, so he rushed over, but my aunt was in a hurry: "Hey, you are not her son, don't kneel!" She thought he was standing too close, and told him to wait a little further away.
Bai Yuan turned his head to look at Yunxiu, and followed him to look up at the sky.The sky is covered with lead clouds, it seems that the rain just now didn't consume half of its energy.A few gray birds flew by, like dark clouds.
My aunt pressed his head, and he sang the birthday song.Singing Happy Birthday to the dead is an unavoidably creepy scene.
After Bai Yuan sang the song, he ran over and took his younger brother to the top of the cemetery, and looked at the buildings and roads down the mountain together.In the past, when my aunt started talking to my mother, he would come here alone and sit in a daze.Now, with the addition of Yunxiu, he can no longer feel the loneliness that he had before.
Yunxiu blinked his eyes, thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to pull up a blade of grass, and asked faintly, "Do you know where my mother is?"
Yun Xiu had this thought for a long time, but he didn't dare to ask.If Dad wanted to tell him, he would have told him a long time ago, if he didn't want to, it was useless to ask.
Kashiwahara was stumped.When the younger brother first arrived at home, he heard the people below discuss that the child was brought home only after the mother died.Later, I heard that my aunt was arguing with my father, and it seems to be the same.Bai Yuan thought that if she was still alive, she would visit the child at least once or twice, but she never did.But if he really died, he should have a stone tablet like his mother.
Feeling unable to answer, he shook his head.A few drops of rain fell from the clouds, as if they fell into Yunxiu's eyes, shining wetly.
Bai Yuan had no way to comfort his younger brother, so he had to point to the road stretching far down the mountain: "Look, that road is so long. Maybe your mother is still alive, but it's just in a place we can't see. When you grow up, walk along this road." If you look for it along this road, you might be able to find it. Perhaps, in a few years, she will come back to you along this road. "
Yunxiu also looked at the road with hope.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Yunxiu felt that it was inappropriate to ask such a question in such a place.There are ghosts everywhere, how can I say it?If he said he was afraid, he was afraid that ghosts would not be happy; if he said he was not afraid, he was afraid that ghosts would come and frighten him.
Bai Yuan said like a little adult: "If I knew her, I wouldn't be afraid. But I don't remember my mother, I only saw the photos. If she appears, I don't know whether I will be afraid or not."
After Yunxiu heard this, he found that he also had this kind of confusion.But his situation is more complicated, he doesn't even know what his mother looks like.Maybe when she appeared, he thought it was a strange ghost and ran away?
He looked at the road, and then thought: Maybe she is just far away?
On the other side, my aunt took out a thin cushion from the bag, and sat down cross-legged like this, completely ignoring the tightness of the bag skirt.This is the advantage of having fewer people, and you don't have to take into account other people's eyes.She took out another pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, took a few puffs, and then began to look back on life like a person with a story.
"Did you see that child? He ran over just now. Big eyes, white skin, more and more like that vixen. Oh, you may not have an impression of that woman. It seems that I only saw it at the annual meeting, that's the one A goblin in a pink dress, a non-sexy woman would never wear such a dress.
Of course, you may not be impressed.When they hook up, you're always busy with your own business.However, no matter how beautiful she is, no matter how seductive she is, she cannot escape the ruthless fate.A few years after you left, she disappeared too.When you died, I didn't see him shed a few tears.Once she died, Bai Yuan's father would be in a bad mood, as if he was going to die.Also heartless.So man, you can't ask him to do something, even if he agrees, he may not think so in his heart.
But it's not easy to rely on yourself, you are not just an example.I'm an idler, I don't have your ability, nor the ability to catch a man, I just make do with it.If it wasn't for your son, I'd rather marry a farmer and live an ordinary life.Others look at me with famous brands and unlimited scenery, but I feel that even smoking, drinking and taking drugs are more enjoyable than the current life. "
The skirt was tied so that her thighs were numb, she shook off the soot, and changed into a mermaid posture: "See Bai Yuan? He is almost growing into a young man, he is our family's seed. But, we are very good with that boy. In front of him In front of his father and I, I didn’t dare to keep it open, and I would run to say nice things behind my back to make him happy. My mother is a rival in love, and it is rare for this next generation to be happy. I don’t know how you feel when you hear it. However, Don't be too sad. Maybe it's too young to understand the grievances and grievances of the previous generation. When I grow up, I want to start a family and branch companies. I think Bai Yuan will have his own plans. I don't eat carrots salty I'm worried.
How about the flower?The flower shop at the gate of the community bought it, but the owner has changed, and the shop still has the same name.The original boss, I don't know where he went.Who can tell clearly about the things in this world, just like you, a few years ago, you were still picking flowers in the store, and after a few years, you came here.People who pass you by may also be thinking, where have you been?Therefore, money, fame and fortune are really irrelevant.Although for me, nothing is going to be crazy.
The kids are back.Next year, I will give you another flower, shall I?Eating a dish all the time always gets boring.You live well there, don't be too strong, a strong person is too tired to live.Don't worry about the kids.Although I am an incompetent aunt, I won't let him get hurt. "
Bai Yuan suddenly roared from behind, and my aunt was so frightened that the butt of her cigarette dropped.She straightened her numb legs and shouted at the tombstone, "Did you see it? Your son!"
On the car back, when passing by the clubhouse, Bai Yuan teased his younger brother again: "Yunxiu, look dead..."
This time, my aunt decisively patted the back of his head.
The author has something to say: Continue to ignore the data, empty yourself, and soar
☆、Late night car accident
In the middle of the night, a sharp brake sound pierced the sky, and everyone in their sleep heard the ear-piercing sound like a sharp weapon cutting through glass.The phone rang loudly in the room, vibrating in the scorched air, as if it would jump up by itself if no one answered it.
Opening his eyes suddenly, he saw Father Zhou who was sweating profusely.He suddenly stood in front of his bed, frightening Cheng Xiong.In the middle of the night, it's okay to keep silent, but in this winter, why are you still sweating?
Father Zhou seemed to be frightened too, seeing him wake up, but not speaking, as if the words were stuck in the middle of the way and could not be uttered.The hand that just answered the phone was still shaking, and he couldn't hide it.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiong's first reaction was: something happened to Zhou Han.Is it dead?The only thing that can make their family's nerves tense is this precious child.But if something happened to him, Father Zhou didn't need to come here to be in a daze.Could it be that the old man died?
"You are talking!"
Father Zhou wiped his face and said, "Something happened. Something serious happened!"
When he learned that it was neither Zhou Han nor the old man, but someone else had the accident, Cheng Xiong also became nervous.
Over the past year, he has done his job well.Due to his diligence and hard work, he was quickly transferred from a mold worker to a production team and became the team leader.The eldest son has a dark face, as long as the old man does not die for a day, the shopkeeper has to obey his father's arrangement honestly.After the promotion letter came out, none of the workers expressed dissatisfaction, and this person really couldn't find fault with his work, so he had no choice but to give up.Besides, a mere group leader is no threat to him.Before he climbed up, maybe the old man would be upside down.
But Cheng Xiong didn't think so, the team leader was doing his best.How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? Take your time, one level a year, keep making progress, and you will not be far from the status of heir.
But at this moment, listening to Father Zhou's intermittent narration, he realized how innocent his previous thoughts were.Shopping malls are like battlefields, there is no pure and clean history of superiors, only palace fighting dramas of life and death.As he listened, he was suddenly seized by another kind of fear, if, if...he couldn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.Like a puppet on a string, under Zhou's father's urging, his mind was blank, his limbs were stiff, and he didn't know how to get up and put on his clothes.
Regardless of the dark night and cold wind, the two hurried out.A few kilometers away from the incident, I finally saw the person who was also trembling.
We met in a small forest, and the branches that stretched out like dry bones scratched people's faces from time to time.After walking a long way in, the three of them stopped at ease.Cheng Xiong glanced around, it was quiet and eerie, behind him was a small shed made of broken thatch, which might be the shelter of the abandoned forest guards.A straw curtain hung down from the roof, blocking most of the entrance.The light was very dim, so I couldn't see the man's face clearly. I could only see him shrinking his shoulders, and his voice sounded like he was about to cry: "Boss, I still have parents and children at home. What should I do now? I can't Jail!"
He kept repeating this sentence, as if he couldn't say anything else.
Zhixiong looked at Zhou's father, Zhou's father was only in a panic at home, and now he was pacing around, not in a hurry, looking quite calm.He taught the man to lower his voice and breathe slowly until his breathing was even.
The old fox was smart, and instead of rushing to confirm the scene, he asked the man to abandon his car and come here on foot to discuss countermeasures.It was also at this time that Cheng Xiong understood his so-called superior strategy.
He hired a rural driver, and after a few days of investigation, he found out the victim's trajectory.These days, because of a big order, the eldest son has to work overtime until late every day.Recently, his car was sent for maintenance. Usually, he asked the driver in the factory to take him to his home in a van, and then walked home slowly after having supper in a 24-hour fast food restaurant.Therefore, the road less than 300 meters long from the fast food restaurant to home has become the best place to start.
At first, Zhou's father just wanted the man to hit him, break his arm or leg, and prevent him from going to work in the factory.In that way, Cheng Xiong will have the opportunity to show his ability in front of the old man, have the opportunity to contact the management, and get promoted faster.You know, just mentioning the group leader, the old man spent a lot of effort, insisting on overcoming the crying of his wife and the cold eyes of his son, and arranged for him to agitate the workers and give play to the mass base.Although Cheng Xiong is young, but if he really has to take his time, he is afraid that he will never be able to wait for his day.The old man is not very old, but his health is not good. One day, he suddenly went there. He has no name or distinction. How can this factory be Cheng Xiong's turn.
Father Zhou is the old man's confidant, but the eldest son doesn't like him at all.Therefore, he was afraid that if the person who supported him couldn't get in, he wouldn't even be able to get along.So, after thinking about it, I came up with this one.But what I didn't expect was that the rural people didn't know how to measure, so they pushed too hard, opened the accelerator and slammed into it, and accidentally overshot it.
Zhou's father asked: "It was really hit and killed? Have you confirmed it?"
The man didn't breathe smoothly for a long time, and became short again, as if he wanted to finish the matter in one breath: "Anyway, when I got down, I saw blood spraying out of my mouth, and then I didn't move. I didn't dare to call the police. It was freezing for a while, and I died if I didn’t hit it. What should I do! You shouldn’t be greedy for this money! Boss, you have to save me, otherwise I’m timid, and the police will definitely tell me everything when they ask me!”
Father Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said patiently: "It's useless to be anxious. Calm down and listen to me. First of all, you are not sure whether you are dead or not. If you are not dead, just pay some money and admit your mistake. I will also compensate you at the original price."
"What about dying?"
"If you die, let me tell you, this is a traffic accident, not intentional homicide, and the sentence will be very light."
The man was anxious: "No, I can't go to jail! If I go to jail, what will my family do? My reputation in the village is bad, where will my parents face?! Besides, my wife and children will be bullied!"
Father Zhou raised his hand, indicating to listen to him first: "If you die, you won't be able to pay the original price. As for you, you may be in prison for a few years, but you and your family will get a much higher price than before. times the price. Think about it, even if you don’t go to jail and work day and night, you can’t earn that much. If you drink alcohol, just tell the police that you drank too much. You have to have a good attitude and be sincere when you admit your mistake. When the time comes, What should be given to you will not be less."
The man seemed a little shaken after hearing this: "But, I'm still scared. What if it's found out on purpose?"
Zhou's father was not going to grind beans with him anymore, so he replied bluntly: "I have told you so much, if you are a smart person, I would have finished talking and left long ago. If something goes wrong, you can't stop talking outside, to whom? No good. The conditions have been clearly stated. Now, you have two options. One is to do what I say; the other is to do what you want, whether you surrender yourself or report us. It's all casual. It's just that, if that's the case, the crime will be aggravated. Besides, I'm asking you to hit me lightly. The murder is completely caused by you. No wonder others. At that time, don't say you can't get money, even if you go to jail, you will be extra favored .Whether you want to get money or get shot, you have to figure it out yourself!"
Rural people are timid in the first place, so they couldn't stand his scare, so they immediately calmed down.After much deliberation, it seemed that he could only follow Father Zhou's wishes.He could only mutter a few words, and groped his way out of the woods.
During their conversation, Cheng Xiong kept shaking involuntarily, not only from the cold body, but also from the shock of his senses.He had never realized that Zhou's father was such a person, with narrowed eyes and the appearance of a gentle scholar.The so-called superior thought that he would bring himself to read at night, study Sun Tzu's art of war, start from the bottom, and fight this tough battle well, but he didn't expect it to be this way!He felt both exciting and scared. After all, he was young and young, so he had never seen such a scene before.
Father Zhou watched the man leave, came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, it seems that we have a lot of work to do when we go back."
I don't know if it was because of being too nervous that there was an illusion. After the man left, Cheng Xiong still heard his deep breathing.
The next day, the newspaper published the news that the son of the program seal factory had died in a car accident.The perpetrator was sent to the police station and sentenced to three years in prison.During the interrogation stage of this case, Cheng Xiong was always worried that the police would suddenly come to his door, and he showed his handcuffs and told him to go to the police station.However, one month or two months passed, and no one came to him.
After the old man died, Cheng Xiong took over the factory smoothly.In those few years, the parts production industry was close to saturation, but people continued to pour into the market.Father Zhou analyzed the situation for him and suggested switching to other industries.Cheng Xiong saw a business opportunity during a business trip, and used the abundant funds on hand to purchase a piece of idle local land.At that time, people were laughing at the newly appointed director of the factory, quitting work and buying land?Is it growing vegetables, or growing parts?Rural people think too much land!But Cheng Xiong has his own plans.
It was not easy to switch to real estate. No matter how cheap the land was at that time, it required a lot of money to design and construct a decent commercial house on a piece of open land.At this time, Zhou's father proposed to restructure the company, turning the family business into a joint-stock company. Those who are interested and have spare money can invest in the shares, and then use the factory area as collateral to apply for bank loans.Cheng Xiong adopted this suggestion. At the same time, due to the successful realization of this theory, Zhou's father also found a way for Cheng Xiong to repay himself: directly give shares.This is much longer than real cash.
But at that time, many old employees felt that this was nonsense and left one after another.Cheng Xiong didn't care, but took the opportunity to reduce the size of the factory.Sure enough, within two years, many component manufacturers who blindly expanded their lines were squeezed by the market, with a large backlog of products, and were forced to close down one after another.And in the past few years, real estate has begun to surge.With his keen market insight, Cheng Xiong successfully made a lot of money.A year later, he completely got rid of the shadow of the parts dealer, and the company officially changed its name to Program Real Estate.
☆、Emerald Necklace
The driver honked at the door, but my aunt couldn't find the jade necklace.
She had searched through all the drawers, even the shoe rack in the cloakroom.I remember putting it back into the jewelry box after using it last time.Will the maid take it away when the auntie comes to clean it?If you don't think about it, she has worked here for so many years, and there has never been anything sneaky about her.It would be possible to change to the previous nanny, but after Yunxiu was sent to the United States, she was fired.
Cheng Xiong personally called to remind him.She had to change into another necklace and hurried downstairs.
Two days later, when the head teacher called, my aunt was sitting in the yard watching the gardener repair the garden.Bai Yuan and Yun Xiu joined in the fun, raised the water hose, and sprayed it on the road outside the railing.
Auntie's expression suddenly changed, and Bai Yuan thought it was because of passers-by who were cursing.She stood up from her chair and walked in front of them sullenly.The two were wondering, so she grabbed Yunxiu by the collar and dragged him into the house.
Bai Yuan didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly followed.When I walked into the living room, I saw my aunt raised her arm, and it was a slap with her hand.
"Did you take my necklace?"
My aunt's face turned red with anger.
Yunxiu avoided looking up at her, and she became even angrier, grabbing his arm and throwing it to the ground, no matter who was there or not.
It was obviously painful, and he wanted to cry but didn't cry.With a daze on his face, he knelt down obediently.
"Why are you so bold? Others donate one or two yuan, but you donate a necklace? Your father has money, so why should he touch my things?!"
Bai Yuan understood what was going on.
It was his idea.Last week, the school organized donations and asked every student to show their love.When it was the first grade's turn to make donations, neither father nor aunt were at home.Yunxiu had no choice but to hold the Mickey Mouse ceramic piggy bank, wanting to drop it but not wanting to.
He saves money like a little money junkie, not because he likes money so much, but because he likes to hear the sound of a coin falling into a ceramic pot. With a "ding", he feels that the coin is safe, hiding in a place where no one can reach out. where to come in.
Bai Yuan could see his reluctance: "Even if it falls, it won't cost much if you take it all, and you will die again."
"Then what should we do? The teacher said that it will be handed in in the afternoon."
My brother thought and thought, and came up with a way.
He slipped into his aunt's bedroom, rummaged around on the dressing table, pretending to be an adult, and said firmly, "She puts everything in a mess, maybe she can find the money."
The money was not found, but a green necklace was found in the drawer.Bai Yuan picked it up and looked at the light from the window, the jade was as clear as glass.He flipped through the palm of his hand a few times before handing it to his younger brother.
The younger brother was a little scared: "The teacher will think it was stolen."
Bai Yuan reasoned to him self-righteously: "The class will start soon, but the money hasn't been found yet. What are you going to pay in the afternoon? This kind of necklace is only valuable with diamonds. This one may be gemstones or glass. If it is expensive, she will I won't let it go casually."
"But if it's glass, the teacher doesn't want it either."
"But this chain is expensive, worth more than the coins in your piggy bank."
Yunxiu still didn't dare to take it.
Bai Yuan encouraged him: "It's okay, when the teacher asked, he said it was from my aunt! If she really doesn't accept it, you can take it back, and ask my aunt for money tomorrow, and then just donate!"
The statement seemed unassailable.In the afternoon, Yunxiu handed in the necklace.When the teacher really asked the reason, he answered exactly as his brother said, and the head teacher believed it.But when it was handed over to the principal's office, I still called the parents out of concerns.That's how things fell apart.
Seeing his aunt's angry face, Bo originally wanted to stand up.But at this time, Cheng Xiong came down from upstairs after hearing the movement.He moved his legs a step forward, then retracted unconsciously.
Seeing his son kneeling on the ground, Cheng Xiong couldn't help frowning.Aunt sees
