Spring wasted

Jiang Kuang stayed at the door of the study on the third floor for a while, suppressing the thoughts in his head, then knocked on the door, and heard a slow "Come in", he pushed the door open and saw Jiang Rugu writing calligraphy.

In recent years, Jiang Rugu has less and less time to deal with official affairs. Since his eldest son died in a car accident ten years ago, he suffered mental trauma. In particular, Jiang Linghui, the eldest son of the second house, became his key training target. Jiang Linghui lived up to expectations and built Jiang's pillar industry - the telecommunications and electronics company "Jiangfan Group" in an orderly manner. But with a more commercial vision, the series of telecommunications products launched by Jiang Fan are very popular among young people, and their market share is expanding year by year.

Erfang’s eldest daughter, Jiang Lingyan, is in charge of Jiang’s hotel industry and a self-created public relations company. The youngest son, Jiang Lingwei, owns an investment company of his own. The three of them do not interfere in each other’s industries. They can cooperate with each other, but there will be no competition. Relationship.

This is also Jiang Rugu's family motto. He cannot tolerate the behavior of "struggling for property and succession". The remaining two daughters of the house have made adjustments again to ensure the safety of the family.

As for the sudden change—Jiang Kuang, Jiang Rugu still follows this family motto, let him practice in Jiang Linghui's company, learn some business management skills, and distribute a small amount of shares, but it will not let him really Instead of getting involved in the enterprise, let him open up another battlefield.

Jiang Kuang proposed to enter the film and television industry. Jiang Rugu did not ask him the reason, but asked him to make a detailed plan, just like an entrepreneur going to get a venture capital investment, stating all his plans and expected goals. As before, he and Jiang Linghui have seen it before entering the preparatory stage.

It has not been a long time since Jiang Kuang was taken away by Jiang Rugu at his mother's funeral, and now, more than three years, is enough to turn one person into another.

He walked to the desk, and with a respectful look, he called out, "Dad."

Jiang Ruyuan looked up at him, nodded, swiped his fingers continuously, and wrote a picture in one go, and then looked at it intently.

Jiang Kuang saw that what Jiang Rugu had written was "Don't lie", so he said, "Zeng Guofan has a saying that the foundation of his life is not to tell lies. Dad is saying that he wants us to be careful in our words and deeds?"

Jiang Ruzhi looked at him for a long time, and said, "Sometimes I think you are like a person, talented and intelligent, with literati habits."

"Who is Dad talking about? Do I know him?" Jiang Kuang asked.

Jiang Rugu paused, shook his head and said, "No, you don't know me." He crumpled up what he had just written and threw it into the wastebasket: "I didn't write it well. I was born as a warrior, so I can't get these pens and inks. Forget it." .”

He picked up the pipe on the corner of the table, and it had been sitting there for a while, the tobacco was about to go out, Jiang Kuang took out the lighter and moved closer to help re-ignite it, Jiang Ruzhi took a deep breath and asked, "The movie project you are holding is about to run out. Has the filming started?"

Jiang Kuang nodded: "The director and producer have been finalized, thanks to Dad and Second Brother, otherwise it would be impossible for a big director to cooperate with a new company like me."

Jiang Rugu didn't take it seriously: "It's just mutual benefit. People who are engaged in art also have to eat. Yu is not a material for doing business at all. My company can't make ends meet. If their father didn't ask me, I wouldn't find someone to operate it." He should give something back to this mess he has passed on."

"So cooperating with Guan Pingshan again is the condition for you and the second brother to help him this time?" Jiang Kuang asked.

Jiang Ruzhi snorted coldly: "If there is no Guan Pingshan, Yu Ye's movie will be a bottomless pit, and Guan Pingshan can tie him down."

Jiang Kuang couldn't help feeling that Jiang Rugu was almost 70, and he was still sharp-eyed and clear-headed. Although it seemed to have nothing to do with the film industry, once a person arrived at a certain position, all kinds of resources that seemed to have nothing to do with each other disappeared. It can be linked at any time, which is something that Jiang Kuang could not understand in his life three years ago.

No matter how complicated his feelings about this father are, he still admits to learning a lot from being around him.

Jiang Kuang didn't expect Jiang Rugu to be caught off guard and asked, "Have you been drinking recently?"

He quickly shook his head: "I've already quit. You said that drinking is a mistake."

Jiang Ruzhi nodded: "You are not young anymore, you are almost thirty. Those who want to do things should not indulge themselves, not lying or indulgent, these are the basic rules of life."

"Yes."

"Your mother has been drinking all the time, and your bad habits are all affected by her. I wanted to take you over a long time ago, but her temper..." Jiang Ruzhi suddenly mentioned Li Si, and Jiang Kuang didn't want to say anything to his mother. Fortunately, Jiang Rugu didn't want to talk about it, so he sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about her."

Jiang Kuang couldn't help but think of the day of his mother Li Si's funeral. It rained heavily. He always knew that his mother's identity was sensitive and shady, but at this moment, he still hoped to see the person who should appear at the scene.

Before that, he had only met him a few times, the first time when he was still very young, a heroic strange man appeared at home, much older than Li Si, bent down to look at him gently, touched his head, let He called him "Daddy".

Jiang Kuang bit his lip and refused to scream, and he didn't believe it either. Li Si kept saying that your father was dead, but she was extremely nervous that day and didn't say anything against this strange man.

In the end, Jiang Kuang didn't call out, and the man seemed very disappointed. Before leaving, Jiang Kuang heard Li Si say to the strange man, "You'd better not come here in the future, it won't do anyone any good."

But then Jiang Kuang met him a few more times. He has gradually grown up and knows that the man is his father, and he also knows the sensitive identity of his mother.

Li Si quietly took him to move several times, but soon after each move, a man in a black suit came to the house and said to Li Si: "You should stop doing futile things."

Later, Li Si might have given up and never moved again. Jiang Ruzhi took care of her, not letting her work or seeing people. Jiang Kuang had never seen Li Si working, only when he was a child. I saw her play the piano, it was very beautiful, Jiang Kuang once thought about how they survived, and when he got older, he knew that it was all the man's money. He and his mother had never been in short supply materially, but they had never been truly happy. .

Mother Li Si's temperament changed greatly later on. Jiang Kuang once collapsed and shouted when the mother and son could not stand the battle: "Jiang Ru has two wives in the name, why can't you be the third one in the name? You are so stubborn Avoiding him, making yourself and me look like crazy, why on earth?"

Then Li Si slapped him hard.

……

Until her death, she was still Miss Li, and only Jiang Rugu's closest confidantes would call her "Third Wife".

On the day of the funeral, Jiang Kuang did not see Jiang Rugu, but on the night after the funeral, the people sent by Jiang Rugu directly took him to the mansion in the middle of the mountain, and told him that he was going to take him back to Jiang's house, but the other family members did not know He exists, so everything takes its time.

He did not show Jiang Rugu the will that Li Si left him, and the letter did not say why he could trust Lin Baoshan, but Jiang Kuang knew that Li Si was the last person in this world who would not harm him, even though their relationship was not good, especially when they were adults. Afterwards it was as cold as ice.

Jiang Kuang accepted his father's arrangement. He didn't have any right to speak or take the lead in this matter. Everything was as Jiang expected. Like boiling a frog in warm water, Jiang Kuang really entered the family in a way that preserved the family's dignity to the greatest extent. to this home.

Tonight is the first time Jiang Kuang has officially participated in a family banquet, which can be regarded as an official announcement and recognition of his identity.

Jiang Rugu was obviously looking forward to the reunion of the whole family, and neither face nor reputation would be lost, but Jiang Kuang couldn't help but feel that when people get older, they will have some unrealistic fantasies, such as dreaming of family reunion in such a home.

Tonight will not be peaceful.
