Older gingers are more spicy

Time seems to return to that sweltering summer. The temperature in July of that year was extremely high. Even in an air-conditioned room, I would feel irritable when I heard the cicadas outside.

Jiang's business also encountered difficulties that year. At that time, Jiang's scale was not so large. Because of the eagerness to develop overseas markets, some domestic construction projects had to be outsourced.

One of the construction companies secretly colluded with some of Jiang's scum to exchange the high-quality building materials Jiang bought for them, sold the good materials at high prices, and bought batches of raw materials to make huge profits.

As a result, the parameters of a newly built real estate were seriously unqualified during the acceptance inspection. The person in charge of the construction company ran away overnight after hearing the news, and all the condemnation poured into Jiang's construction, thinking that their supervision was not effective, and even some rival companies They sent rumors to make trouble, saying that Jiang's construction was making black-hearted money and disregarding human life.

During that time, Jiang Qilu was exhausted, he did not escape, and took the initiative to take all the responsibilities.The newly built buildings are all rebuilt, and those who have already bought a house can choose a house of the same area from other buildings developed by Jiang.If the owner wants to refund, he will unconditionally refund all the house payment according to the current housing price, and the company will directly lose hundreds of millions of yuan that month.

He also personally went to negotiate with the owner representative of the real estate on compensation issues. Because of his positive attitude, 80% of the owners of this real estate said they would not check out.

He left early and returned late every day. At that time, his marriage was on the verge of breaking up. Zhang Sisi hadn't come home for more than a year, and Jiye and Minmin were also taken to her natal home by her.

When he came back, there were only a few servants in the huge courtyard. When Jiang Qilu dragged his tired body into the gate, he always had a feeling that he was the only one left in the world.

So after getting drunk once, he acquiesced in the pursuit of a female movie star who was popular at the time.Jiang Qilu no longer believes in love.He also knew very well that the female star's frequent overtures to him were because of his money, but who the hell cares?

He's going crazy.

But on the day he brought the woman home, the eldest son who boarded at the school came back. When Jiang Qilu entered the gate, he found the child waiting for him in front of the building. Although the child was only 15 years old But he already looks like an adult, but his height of nearly 1.8 meters seems very thin.

Jiang Qilu clearly remembered that Jiang Yanzhou was wearing a light blue school uniform at that time, and he was waiting there with a smile, the mottled shadows of leaves falling on his face.

He felt very embarrassed at the time, and severely scolded the eldest son who came back suddenly. Now it seems that the scolding at that time was simply an expression of guilt.

The eldest son didn't seem surprised by the woman's arrival, and greeted her politely.

Jiang Qilu only remembered that he drank a lot of wine at dinner that night, and scolded him again by taking advantage of the alcohol.Later, he was helped upstairs. What happened after that?He couldn't remember.

Why did he think of this now? Jiang Qilu wanted to open his eyes and expel those disturbing things in his mind, but he felt uncomfortable in his body. It wasn't uncomfortable, it was—what.

He should be in the water now, and it was very comfortable to be supported by the water, but soon the strength to support him disappeared, and he began to sink... He was afraid that he would suddenly sink and drown, so he stretched out his hands randomly until he caught hold of it. A reliance, he grasped with all his might.

"Um--"

The body was lifted up again, Jiang Qilu's strength was very gentle, who?Who is that?He tried his best to open his eyes, but he could only see a vague outline.

A voice told him that it was his favorite person.

Jiang Qilu stretched out his hand and hugged the person in front of him tightly, kissing, comforting, and pressing him down.

Just when he was about to stretch out his hand, the force suddenly became stronger and lifted him out of the water.

Jiang Qilu's eyes suddenly turned blood red - he wanted to see clearly, but at this moment the power that surrounded him disappeared, and his body suddenly lost support and sank heavily.

where?

Jiang Qilu felt as if he had lost something important, and suddenly became manic. He stretched out his hand to grab it, but he couldn't catch anything. There was nothing around him, which made him even more irritable, and he rushed forward at once—wanted to overwhelm, wanted to just The power belongs to oneself.

"what do you want?"

"I want to—" Jiang Qilu couldn't answer at the moment, he only had these two words in his mind, and Jiang Qilu, who didn't want the other party to ask again, just blocked it with his mouth.

There was a sweet and fishy taste in his mouth, but his body was pressed down hard, and that force became extremely hot, making his whole body feel like it was on fire.The violent fire continued from the chest to the abdomen, until it covered every cell in the body, but it was not a burning pain. The feeling was like being stimulated by an electric current passing through the whole body, so he had to hold on tightly and give him stimulation source of.

But he doesn't like this feeling, he doesn't like the feeling of being controlled, he wants to resist, wants to dominate, but the force is astonishingly large, like a mountain that makes him unable to move.

The fire was still raging, he could hardly suppress the growl in his chest, and wanted to growl—but his mouth was tightly blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.

The conqueror was still clamoring in his body, Jiang Qilu tried his best to take that power for himself, but was defeated by the violent fire, and could only straighten his body back in vain , Want to get rid of this sense of despair of being dominated.

But everything was in vain. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the power raging in his body. On the eve of almost dying, he began to vent his voice with a hoarse voice, but the voice he made was fragmented and could not be heard Even a syllable of any significance.

His body seemed to be slowly disappearing, and he suddenly felt inexplicable fear, the force was getting bigger and bigger, almost crushing his body, out of instinct, he began to struggle violently, trying to get rid of that force Press down on yourself.

But his resistance was dismissed, but this time the power seemed to punish him, preventing him from experiencing the stimulation brought by the fire and preventing him from breaking free.

Jiang Qilu was like a dehydrated fish, desperately opening his mouth to breathe, but found that it was useless at all, the air he needed could not be obtained by such futile behavior.

So he tried to ignite the fire by himself, but was stopped by the power again. He became angry and raised his hand to break the power, but was imprisoned again.

Because of the resistance, the power punishment was even more severe, and then his whole body was pulled up and turned over, and then thrown down heavily, his eyes were covered, and his body was pressed tightly, leaving him in darkness.

Then the fire behind him began to ignite again, and this time it spread even more violently than before, a little bit from the shoulders to the back to the waist - he wanted to turn around and grab it, but his strength didn't allow it.

The flames began to burn more and more intensely, and he was also burned out of his sanity in the scorching heat——

——————————————————————————————————————————

Zheng Yuan is an old fritter in the local area. He was sent by Zhou Chengdong a long time ago to be in charge of receiving the people from Cheng Yan's side. He was a receptionist in name, but in fact he was also monitoring him. If the head is green, he will be responsible for coercing and luring.

He is very proud today, because he completed a big task last night. Although there was a small flaw, it did not affect the ending.But based on his experience, he always felt that the lawyer was not a simple character. The first small colored balls were obviously thrown at him, but they were all avoided. You must know that the guy who threw the balls did it. This incident has been going on for several years, and it can be regarded as a coincidence. Could it be a coincidence.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved perfectly, and Zhou Chengdong was very satisfied.

So he asked his little daughter-in-law to cook him a big bowl of meat early in the morning, which smelled delicious.

He is almost 60, but his wife is only in her 20s, and her children are also in groups. Is there anyone in this world who lives more like a fairy than him?

Lao Zheng took a knife and cut the meat while drinking, enjoying the morning comfort in Cangdong.

But he only ate seven or eight mouthfuls, and someone knocked on the wooden door of the yard.

He asked his wife to open the door impatiently, but unexpectedly found that it was the little boy who brought him good luck yesterday.

But yesterday this kid also enjoyed enough good luck, he should thank himself!

"Haha, come and sit down, please. It just so happens that my family has made Cangdong's signature dish. Come and try it." Although Zheng Yuan smiled, he obviously lost the humility of yesterday, but was secretly proud.

"The old man is so comfortable. I was really honored to entertain you yesterday." Jiang Qilu sat on the bamboo chair and glanced at the meat in the basin.

"This is the meat of Maoshan pig, which can only be eaten here in Cangdong, but how about rare game, Boss Bai, try it?" Old Zheng cut a large piece of meat and put it in the bowl in front of Jiang Qilu.

"Cangdong's specialties are not limited to gourmet food. Yesterday's welcoming ceremony also opened my eyes?" Jiang Qilu didn't move his chopsticks.

"Hahaha, that's called the Dongba Club. It's not only an activity to welcome foreign guests but also to match up local girls and boys. Those flower balls are happiness balls, and the ones hit are those who are specially favored by the God of Marriage. They can Choose the one you like first." When Lao Zheng said this, he squinted at Jiang Qilu, as if everyone understood.

"It seems that the colored mud has something to say." Jiang Qilu continued to ask.

"It's marriage water, pour it on anyone you like, I heard it's very effective, I really congratulated Boss Bai yesterday." Zheng Yuan deliberately didn't say anything, but let Jiang Qilu understand that this matter was his arrangement.

"That's what Boss Zhou meant, right? You really have a heart—" After Jiang Qilu finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the butcher knife that Old Zheng had placed by the basin, and instantly pressed it against the old guy's neck.

This accident caused the woman beside Lao Zheng to scream.

"Shut up, or I'll kill him!" Jiang Qilu wasn't joking this time, his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

The woman shut her mouth at that moment and looked at him in horror.

"This... there must be some kind of misunderstanding——" Lao Zheng's face was pale now, and he didn't understand why the person in front of him did this.

"What's in the mud?" Jiang Qilu asked word by word.

"No—ah—no, there is powder made from Yin Snake Grass." Old Zheng felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then something flowed down.The knife is very sharp, he sharpened it yesterday.

"That... what is it?" Although he had already determined the answer in his heart, he still couldn't believe it.Jiang Qilu almost gritted his teeth when he asked.

"It's just...it's something that makes people feel confused, but that person needs to be tempted first!" Lao Zheng's face was already pale now, because he knew that this person was serious.

"You fucking shut up!" Jiang Qilu raised his foot and kicked the dining table over, pointing the tip of the knife at Old Zheng's eyes.

"I want to see Zhou Chengdong, contact him right now, I'll wait for him at the casino." Jiang Qilu's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly let go of Lao Zheng, who sat on the ground without support.

Jiang Qilu tightly held the knife in his hand, and when he walked to the door, he inserted it into the door frame.

When he walked out, Jiang Qilu was shaking all over.

The messy bed in the room in the morning, the floor splashed with water and the soaked carpet, and the physical sensations all showed that everything last night was not a ridiculous dream.

The acceptance team had been waiting for Jiang Qilu in the lobby early in the morning, and many of them had ulterior motives, but now Jiang Qilu didn't even want to look at them.

After driving for more than half an hour, we arrived at the playground. The location here is very good, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and many entertainment facilities are built on the basis of this terrain.

The design of the playground is also very ingenious. It is not the ordinary playground with ferris wheels and roller coasters. It is more like a theme park or an ethnic village, with local ethnic characteristics.

Jiang Qilu stood at the entrance of the amusement park holding the floor plan, looking at this large amusement park covering an area of ​​nearly 150 hectares. It also includes hotel restaurants, cinemas, shopping centers and other supporting facilities. It is simply a fairy tale kingdom.

But the fairy tale kingdom is always a dream, maybe it's just a bubble that will burst with a poke.

Without checking anything, Jiang Qilu walked directly to some building materials that were piled there because they were not used up, squatted down to look at the pile of steel, and tapped it lightly with his hands. It was very high-quality steel.

After standing up, Jiang Qilu walked directly to a bungee jumping tower of more than 50 meters not far from the pile of steel. This tower was built with this kind of steel. I scraped it off a little and rubbed it on my hands.

"Take the samples here for testing." Jiang Qilu said to the inspector following him.

The inspector casually picked up a steel plate on the ground, but was stopped by Jiang Qilu.

"Take a sample from here, and then do an ultrasonic flaw detection of the weld seam, and the data will be sent to me directly."

"Bai Gong, I don't need to trouble you with these tests. I have already done the tests before, and Xiao Liu showed the information to Bai Gong." Just as the inspector was about to do it, someone came over behind Jiang Qilu.

As soon as Jiang Qilu turned his head, he saw a tall, dark-complexioned middle-aged man standing behind him.Jiang Qilu knew that this was Zhou Chengdong, and the moment he saw him, Jiang Qilu couldn't help but want to kill someone.

He didn't even understand why this person used this despicable method to frame himself, no, could he be framed by another person?Or he wants to kill two birds with one stone!

Suppressing the killing intent, Jiang Qilu took the document bag handed over by a woman next to Zhou Chengdong. Jiang Qilu flipped through it. They were all test reports, and of course they all met the standards.

It turned out that Zhou Chengdong had provided the test reports that Zhao Yan had previously provided to the company.

"Thank you so much, but after all, I am paid by Mr. Han. I can't just take the money and do nothing. Let's test it again! The deflection of the steel beam should also be tested. I want Boss Zhou to provide the "Verification Form for the Selection of Main Materials for Amusement Facilities" and "Record Form for Operating Parameters and Load Tests." Jiang Qilu closed the documents with a smile and signaled the inspectors to continue sampling.

"I don't think it's too early. Why don't you take a rest first. I'm the host. I invite all the colleagues who are new to Cangdong this time. I hope Bai Gong will give me face." Zhou Chengdong didn't answer Jiang Qilu's words, and just stretched out his hand to do it. A gesture of please.

When Jiang Qilu heard all his colleagues, his heart felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he could hardly maintain a calm look on his face.

Zhou Chengdong keenly captured Jiang Qilu's momentary panic, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

In the end, Jiang Qilu did not reject Zhou Chengdong, he wanted to know the truth!

A group of them took a car and went directly to a high-end restaurant with ethnic characteristics in the center of Cangdong.

Zhou Chengdong had already booked a private room here, and everyone else was arranged downstairs, only Zhou Chengdong and Jiang Qilu were arranged in a separate private room.

There are several very beautiful waitresses in the private room, all wearing Cangdong's famous ethnic costumes.

"Boss Zhou, if you have anything to do, just tell me." Jiang Qilu didn't take the wine that Zhou Chengdong handed over.

"No hurry, there's one more person who didn't come." Zhou Chengdong didn't pay attention to Jiang Qilu at all, and now he took a sip of the wine.

"Sorry for being late."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Qilu almost sat up from the chair. In order to keep calm, he had to hold the chair surface with his hands, and the veins on the back of his hands were protruding.

"Lawyer Jiang is a busy man, and this time it's also because of some land disputes that Shengyan is here. You know that we are all uneducated wild people here, all for those who don't have a long-term vision. What's the use of keeping those fields? If you’re exhausted and still can’t make any money, it’s better to sell the land early and lie in bed all your life to make money.” Zhou Chengdong said with a smile, pouring wine for Jiang Yanzhou while talking.

"We will try our best to compensate them, and we have to trouble Boss Zhou to speak well to the villagers." Jiang Yanzhou took the wine glass and sat next to Jiang Qilu with the same expression as usual.

The moment the man sat down, Jiang Qilu shook unconsciously, and looked down at the painted pattern on the table for a long time, until Zhou Chengdong poured him another drink.

"Bai Gong, I'll have someone deliver the materials you mentioned to you tomorrow. You and Lawyer Jiang can have a good rest today. Jiacheng Mountain in Cangdong has the most beautiful scenery at this time. The young men and women who come here for vacation every year are very special. Not as much as the two of you—”

"I still have some data to look at, so I'm leaving first." Before Zhou Chengdong could finish speaking, Jiang Qilu stood up suddenly, bypassing Jiang Yanzhou and wanted to leave.

But when he passed by the man, his arm was grabbed.

"Don't go so fast, it's rare for Boss Zhou to treat you." The hand that grabbed his arm was strong, but Jiang Qilu couldn't break away even though he tried hard secretly, so he had to sit down again.

The meal was very depressing, only Zhou Chengdong and Jiang Yanzhou were talking at the dinner table, and Jiang Qilu only ate some cold dishes.

After the meal, Zhou Chengdong found a local companion, saying that he would act as a guide for the two of them, let them go into the mountains to have fun, and live in a villa in the mountains at night.

This is Zhou Chengdong's favorite trick all the time, but this time he doesn't have to arrange women in the villa.

"I'm not going, it's not very comfortable." Jiang Qilu planned to leave as soon as he went out, but this time he was stopped by Jiang Yanzhou again.

"Because you were uncomfortable in bed yesterday?"

Jiang Qilu suddenly raised his head and looked at the man when he heard these four words, what did he mean.

"If you're struggling with that...you didn't make it to the end, you should know!" Jiang Yanzhou looked at Jiang Qilu with a smile this time, with a very ambiguous tone.

Jiang Qilu never thought that he would say that, and he even thought that the two of them would never see each other again.

This was decided the moment he woke up in the morning and became conscious. Although Jiang Yanzhou was not his own son, he still couldn't accept it. The huge sense of immorality suppressed him all morning.

"There's something in that mud, yesterday wasn't—"

"You didn't do it voluntarily... so what does it matter? I'm fine with it." Jiang Yanzhou lowered his head after speaking, looking into Jiang Qilu's eyes.

"Let's try it out, how about it?"

Jiang Qilu almost felt that he was hallucinating, and he was stunned in place.
