Inside the study.

Chu Zhongtang drank tea and smoked a cigarette expressionlessly.

There was a powerful aura that lingered all over his body.

Just now, he had an incordial conversation with Chu Yun.

Facing Chu Yun's temptation that was almost flattering. He did not give a positive answer.

even stifled Chu Yun's temptation.

He didn't want Chu Yun to have the slightest good impression of him.

Be hostile and vigilant. is the state that Chu Yun should have.

"If you really didn't kill his mind. ”

Xu Jixia said slowly: "Even if you give him some confidence, it doesn't hurt." ”

As a confidant, as a person who has been following Chu Zhongtang since he was young.

There are some things that others dare not say, but Xu Ji dares.

Although he said it very cautiously.

But this is the power that Chu Zhongtang gave him.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Chu Zhongtang is no exception.

The reason why he is strong enough is that he has stood at the top for many years and is in the ascendancy. It's not just his strength.

And his permeability to humanity. Defensive about possible deviations in one's own thoughts.

And Xu Jixia is the person who speaks carefully by his side.

It is the one who raises objections when he is confused.

"If I don't strangle him, can he trust me?" Chu Zhongtang took a sip of tea and said with a contemplative gaze. "I don't think there's any connection between the two. ”

"Over the past few years, what you've done has really made him delusional. Xu Ji pursed his lips and said. "Chu Yun is smart enough. The sense of smell is also very sensitive. ”

"He's just wishful thinking. Chu Zhongtang said coldly.

Xu Ji was stunned. Then he said: "But at least you have always adhered to the identity of the second uncle." He's in trouble, and you're not completely sitting idly by. ”

"I've never made a shot. Chu Zhongtang said lightly.

"But your heart is shaken. ”

Xu Jixia organized the vocabulary very rigorously: "Actually. You've never had such a big mood swing at anything else. Only when it comes to Chu Yun, you are always hesitant. And insincerely. ”

"I owe the Chu family. Chu Zhongtang snuffed out the cigarette in his hand. Complexity flashed in his eyes. "But I don't owe him Chu Yun. Not at all. ”

Xu Jixia sighed and didn't dare to talk further.

One night many years ago. He had revealed some thoughts to Xu Jixia.

At that time, Chu Zhongtang, whether it was the city government or wisdom, was far less terrifying than now.

Xu Jixia also became the only person with a foreign surname who knew some of the inside story of the Chu family.

He couldn't fully understand Chu Zhongtang's heart. In this world, no one can see through Old Monster Chu.

But Xu Jixia knows more than others.

"Big boss, can I gossip?"

After a short silence, Xu Jixia asked very curiously.

Say. Chu Zhongtang said lightly.

"What will the Chu family become in the future?" Xu Ji said cautiously. "You will leave the Chu family to the eldest young master. Or Chu Yun?"

"Even you think that I am sharpening Chu Yun?" Chu Zhongtang raised his eyes slightly.

Xu Jixia hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "I just think that you won't hurt the affection between their brothers." Nor will it crush your son. ”

"I don't want you to think. Chu Zhongtang said lightly. "I want me to feel. ”

......

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Chu Yun turned over and got up. kicked Chu Shaohuai, who was snoring like thunder, awakened.

This grandson is handsome. It's a pity that sleeping like a sow is ghostly, which is annoying.

"Huh. Brother, what are you doing?" Chu Shaohuai rubbed his eyes. Delirious sat up.

"You snored all night, and you didn't feel it at all?" Chu Yun said irritably.

"I sleep and snore?" Chu Shaohuai said. "No, nobody's ever asked me before. ”

"Nobody mentioned it. Or did you not sleep at all?" Chu Yun said with a pun.

"I'm very restrained. Chu Shaohuai argued. "Brother, what do you think I am?"

Chu Yun got up to wash, put on his coat and said, "Don't ink." Get up and eat. ”

Push the door and go out.

As far as the eye can see, the backyard is covered with snow.

And in one night, the whole city was whited.

Chu Zhongtang unexpectedly appeared at the dining table. However, he did not have a hearty breakfast with the brothers. On the plate, there is still only one monotonous sandwich.

"It won't be long before Chinese New Year's Eve. Where are you going to spend it?" Chu Zhongtang took a bite of the sandwich slowly. Asked.

"I've been with the Su family. Chu Yun said after hesitating and said. "What about you?"

"We've definitely been at home. Chu Shaohuai pouted. Gobble up.

His eating style was basically learned from Chu Yun. However, Chu Yun ate like this, it was very indecent, and even embarrassed. When a handsome guy eats like this, it looks very ornamental.

"Why don't you spend it together this year?" Chu Yun took a sip of porridge and asked.

"Okay. Chu Shaohuai grinned. "I'll find a good place, let's not get drunk and go home. ”

Chu Yun shook his head and said, "Just eat it at home." I'll bring my wife with me. ”

"That's fine. Chu Shaohuai nodded. He hesitated and asked. "Is it called Auntie?"

"Of course. Chu Yun said and glanced back at Chu Zhongtang. "Second uncle, is there a problem with you here?"

"Whatever you want. Chu Zhongtang said.

"Then it's decided. Chu Yun finished drinking the porridge in the bowl. Got up and said. "I'm full. You use it slowly. ”

Chu Yun left.

Chu Shaohuai couldn't help but look at his father and said, "Dad." What did you talk to my brother about last night, and why did he suddenly want to go home for the New Year?"

Chu Zhongtang said lightly: "You want to know." Just ask him. ”

Chu Shaohuai rolled his eyes. Pouted, "I haven't heard anything useful from your mouth." ”

Chu Zhongtang finished eating the sandwich on his plate, got up and said, "You don't have to go to work?"

When Chu Shaohuai heard this, he stripped off the fried noodles on the plate in three or two. He swallowed the milk from the cup. The three men of the Chu family left in the car. Only the empty and deserted Chu family was left.

......

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.

During this period, the only serious thing Chu Yun did was to attend Old Man Duan's funeral. It was a grand event. There were also a lot of bigwigs in attendance. Even Chu Zhongtang took Chu Shaohuai to participate in this farewell ceremony.

Countless people are grateful for the time when this old man was alive. And to the highest silence.

Twenty-nine of the Lunar New Year.

Chu Yun had a New Year's dinner with the Su family a day in advance. Sip the wine and enjoy the snow scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The atmosphere was very congenial.

Chu Yun made an exception and didn't take his father-in-law to drink flower wine. Who doesn't want to go home for a reunion dinner? This kind of atmosphere is strange to drink flower wine.

Aunt Chen Xiuling sat next to her and glanced at Chu Yun in a weird way: "Chu Yun, I heard that you have a hard relationship here in Yanjing City?"

"Look at what you said. I can't be as hard as you can. Chu Yun had a good attitude. "Auntie, if you have any orders, just say it. ”

"It's nothing. I've discussed it with your uncle. I want to move the company to Yanjing. After the province, I often run on both sides. Trouble not to say. It also makes the cost bigger. Chen Xiuling said.

"Then move here. What does it have to do with whether this is hard or not?" Chu Yun rolled his eyes and said. "In the business world, Mingyue is not so good at it, are you better than me to ask her for help?"

"The main thing is that I want to do some administrative work. It can be regarded as a transformation of the company. Chen Xiuling said.

"Then you still have to find Mingyue. Chu Yun said with a smile. "Auntie, you don't know yet, do you? Our family Mingyue is not only calling for wind and rain in the business field now. In the official career, he still holds the handle in his hand. Cover the sky with one hand. ”

Chen Xiuling said suddenly: "Really?"

"Then can there be a fake?" Chu Yun found the top beam and threw it directly to Chen Xiuling.

He sneaked to the balcony and went to talk to his sister-in-law to enjoy the snow.
