Chapter 39 The Past ......
Chapter 39: The Past ......
Jiang Xianbang has been an orphan since he was a child, no father, no mother, no children and no daughters, he grew up eating hundreds of meals, when he was eight years old, he met a man who went down to the ninth rate, and was accepted as a righteous son, and since then he has done the disgraceful business of digging graves and digging graves, and slowly learned a lot of real skills, after giving the man a pension, he officially inherited this so-called career, but Jiang Xianbang is smart, his brain is particularly flexible, and another shortcut is to do it bigger and bigger, until he was in his early thirties, they encountered a big deal, which definitely made everyone get rich instantly, and finally someone in his core team had a different heart and killed the other four people who had been in addition to Jiang Xianbang at that time。
These people are old friends who have followed him for many years, Jiang Xianbang was no longer hands-on when he was thirty years old, he was only responsible for contacting customers or being a dealer in cultural relics, Jiang Xianbang, who was lucky enough to escape, found someone to do the brother who had a different heart, and buried five old guys who had followed him for more than ten years.
But Jiang Xianbang believes in cause and effect, doesn't do this kind of thing, and doesn't know what else he can do, and is even more afraid of retribution. So he visited the famous river and Dachuan, spent a lot of money to find a master, and finally met Qin Sheng's grandfather in Zhongnan Mountain, and visited the old Taoist of Louguantai, which pointed him out a clear road.
Since then, Jiang Xianbang has come to the Yangtze River Delta, relying on the good things and funds in his hands, he has made a lot of friends, and he has met a few nobles by luck, and since then he has become more and more smooth, but Jiang Xianbang is very low-key, and he has accumulated a lot of good karma and virtue for himself in the past 20 years, but he has never dared to get married, let alone have children.
Jiang Xianbang, who is now over half a hundred years old, has the most headache is his family business, who will inherit it, he has cultivated a lot of young people over the years, but there are few that can really make him look down, either the city is too deep, or the pattern is too small, or the ability is limited, etc., in short, he has never found a candidate who satisfies him, as for Qing'er, he has never thought about it, let alone Qing'er's character, because he is too low-key, his affairs are not understood by outsiders, a woman can't bear these at all, not to mention that he only hopes that Qing'er will live a good life, just like Qin Sheng hopes that Han Bing will enjoy life in his own way。
Why?
Because once they choose this path, they will never live a comfortable and happy life.
At first, he thought that after Qing'er got married, if her boyfriend was good, she could try to cultivate it, but this girl never had the intention of getting married, Jiang Xianbang never thought about forcing her, and then thought about it, the boyfriend Qing'er found was definitely not the kind of young man she liked, so she could only give up.
So Jiang Xianbang gave up this matter completely, and felt that it was natural, too stubborn would not lead to results after all, until he met Qin Sheng a few years ago.
When Jiang Xianbang first saw Qin Sheng, it was in the courtyard near the Zhongnan Mountain Tower Viewing Platform, the yard has no walls, only two old houses with blue bricks and gray tiles, there is only such a family nearby, and there is a village in the distance, the yard is full of flowers and plants and all kinds of vegetables, and there are two most common acacia trees in the countryside of Guanzhong.
It was a sweltering summer, at dusk in the evening, under the acacia tree, an old man was lying on a recliner, holding a fan in his hand, closing his eyes and listening to Peking Opera, a five or six-year-old child holding a branch in his hand, stubbornly playing the so-called sword moves, and shouting Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey" in his mouth , It's a pity that I finally fell on my head, and after getting up, I looked back at the old man, and found that the old man didn't see it, patted the soil and continued to play, and there was a Chinese pastoral dog and a few old hens next to it.
This scene is very harmonious, Jiang Xianbang feels that this is the life he wants most when he gets old, he doesn't know whether he is tired or thirsty, so he walked into the yard inexplicably.
As for the later story, needless to say, it was the first time he met Qin Sheng.
Later, he never went to see the old man again, not because he didn't want to go, but because the old man said that there was no need to come again, and he couldn't see him, so he never set foot in that ancient city again, and he never saw Qin Sheng again.
Until Qin Sheng went to Shanghai to study at university, there was a fight in Fudan that was too loud, and they were almost expelled from the dormitory, at that time they didn't know each other's specific identity and background, after all, they were all college students, brothers in a dormitory, and what they cared about was this relationship, not after leaving society, intersecting with strangers, and caring about each other's background and so on.
At that time, the matter was very troublesome, the whole Fudan knew that several students were beaten and hospitalized, and afterwards Qin Sheng's dormitory was calm, in fact, the three people behind him had already notified the family, Qin Sheng had no way at that time, and he also knew that this matter might delay the future of several people, and finally found Jiang Xianbang.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the big thing that the sky has collapsed is naturally nothing in Jiang Xianbang's place, just say hello and this matter will pass, who knows that before he can come forward, this matter has already been settled, and afterwards Jiang Xianbang was curious to inquire about what was going on, it turned out that there were three gentlemen living in a dormitory, and Qin Sheng had no background.
After this incident, Jiang Xianbang and Qin Sheng had dinner, and they didn't hesitate to say that they didn't help, and the three families in your dormitory were not simple, and this matter had been settled.
Originally, Qin Sheng really thought that Jiang Xianbang did it, and then he knew the reason, but in the dormitory, he was still the same as usual, and he didn't mention anything, and then gradually learned about the family background of these three gentlemen who pretended to be pigs and ate tigers.
Later, Jiang Xianbang also helped Qin Sheng with a few things, but they were all insignificant, and the intersection between the two was still very small, but from that time, he cared about this young man very much, and he liked all aspects.
But he never wanted to fool the young man, for he knew that behind him stood a terrifying old man who might have paved the way for his grandson.
Later, Qin Sheng disappeared completely, and even he couldn't be contacted, and more than two years slowly passed, until Qin Sheng returned to Shanghai again last month and called him.
When he knew that the old man had passed away and Qin Sheng would stay in Shanghai in the future, he half-jokingly asked Qin Sheng to come to him, this sentence was a half-truth, and Qin Sheng naturally refused.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Sheng was involved in the turmoil of the Han family, out of the favor of the year, Jiang Xianbang, who didn't want to offend others and cause trouble, had no choice but to help him, but he also found more shining points in this young man.
But he never thought that Qin Sheng would find him today and actually take the initiative to speak.
At this moment, Jiang Xianbang's heart was already happy, but he still remained calm.
Hearing Qin Sheng's unswerving statement that he would not regret it, Jiang Xianbang had already made up his mind in his heart, and he asked slowly, "Then what do you think, if you want to come, I have to figure out what you mean, otherwise I will directly let you be the vice president, I guess you don't want to."
"I'm too young, you let me be the vice president, I don't have that ability, I want to start from the bottom, take it slowly, step by step" Qin Sheng said truthfully, he knew the measure.
Jiang Xianbang pondered for a few seconds, thinking about where to put Qin Sheng, and after thinking for a few minutes, he finally made a decision and said, "That's okay, then start from the bottom, I have a private club, called Shangshan Ruoshui, and the people who usually entertain are some dignitaries, if you want to be interested, then start with Shangshan Ruoshui"
"When can I go to work?" Qin Sheng didn't want to delay too much time, and said bluntly.
Jiang Xianbang laughed and said, "At any time, depending on your time, I'll say hello over there in a while"
"Don't expose my relationship with you, I don't want to be talked about by others" Qin Sheng said casually, this is the truth, after all, he is not going to gild.
Jiang Xianbang took a puff of cigar and scolded with a smile, "You still need to say this, there are so many"
At this time, a servant slowly walked over and said, "Mr. Jiang, lunch is ready, do you want to eat it now?"
"I've told you so much nonsense, I'm hungry, let's go, go to lunch, and have two drinks with me," Jiang Xianbang put down his cigar and pulled Qin Sheng and said with a smile.
"It's okay to drink, is there Xifeng 375" Qin Sheng pouted, he knew that Jiang Xianbang's alcohol consumption was excessive, and he was not an opponent at all.
Jiang Xianbang was stunned for a moment and said, "There is a west wind, they are all good wines that can't be bought on the market, this Xifeng 375, I really haven't heard of it"
"Forget it if you haven't heard of it, remember to keep a few boxes in the future, and you will definitely come to eat and drink in the future," Qin Sheng said disapprovingly.
"Damn, why are you so verbose, and don't you eat?"
"Eat"
The two of them hooked their shoulders and turned their backs towards the restaurant, not at all like elders and juniors, but more like fox friends who fooled around together.
All afternoon, Qin Sheng and Jiang Xianbang were mixed up in this old Shanghai house, Jiang Xianbang on the wine table was very interesting, Qin Sheng, who was persuaded by various persuasions, finally drank a pound and a half of liquor, and he himself was about the same.
In the end, Qin Sheng even scolded loudly, "You old thing, why are you so thick-skinned, relying on the old and selling the old, alas, you really got on the thief ship by mistake"
"Do you talk to the boss like this? Believe it or not, I'll fire you tomorrow?" Jiang Xianbang was not angry, laughed and laughed, I don't know why, he always likes to play with young people now, and he doesn't want to be with those old men, he always feels too boring.
Qin Sheng shouted, "Labor and management haven't gone to work yet."
drank from the dining table to the living room, and in the end, I didn't know if I drank too much or was really sleepy, the two fell asleep directly, Jiang Xianbang was lying on the sofa, and Qin Sheng was lying on the carpet.
When the servants saw this, they could not move them back to their rooms, so they could only cover them with blankets, which were a little cold, for fear that they would catch a cold.
When Qing'er came back, it was already past ten o'clock, unless something happened, she basically came back before eleven o'clock, and never let her uncle worry.
But this scene in the living room surprised her, and after asking the maid, she found out what was going on.
She knows her uncle very well and basically doesn't get drunk, but what's going on today?
Drinking like this with a young man, what is the identity of this young man that makes his uncle value it so much?
