Chapter 2 How to Keep a Secret Forever
The food cooked by her mother-in-law Wen Cui'e is still very delicious, but it's a pity that Jiangbei is apprehensive, and it is inevitable that it will not taste good in his mouth.
After lunch, Xiao Nizi helped her mother-in-law clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Qiangguo returned to the sofa to observe the bronze sword.
Of course, Jiangbei himself was not idle, and took the initiative to bring out the tea set and start making tea, trying his best to express himself and alleviate the resentment of his father-in-law.
"This sword was bought at the Qingqiu antique market, right?" Li Qiangguo looked at the bronze sword left and right for a while, and asked with squinted eyes.
Qingqiu antique market is a relatively large antique trading place, not far from the Wutong Mountain villa area, Li Qiangguo occasionally goes there to shop for a Taobao shellfish when he has nothing to do.
"Dad, you are really discerning, this sword was indeed bought from Qingqiu. Jiangbei didn't hide it, and replied while making tea.
"Heh!" Li Qiangguo sneered when he heard this, touched the bronze sword in his hand and sighed meaningfully: "Old man, if I can really be as wise as a torch, I won't be turned around by my own people......"
Hiss~!
Jiang Bei gasped, his hand holding the tea almost shook steadily, and he secretly glanced in the direction of the kitchen, only then did he suppress the apprehension in his heart, put the tea in front of Li Qiangguo, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Dad, what you said is serious, my son is your trusted ally." ”
"Oh, aren't your allies some kind of Azure Queen?" Li Qiangguo picked up the teacup and turned it gently in his hand, the expression on his face full of playfulness.
Jiang Bei's whole person froze instantly when he heard this, and a solemn atmosphere began to fill the air, and the sound of boiling water in the teapot could be heard clearly.
"What are you two talking about?"
Suddenly, a pleasant voice came, Li Youqing walked to Jiangbei and sat down after finishing the kitchen affairs, staring at the teapot with a pair of good-looking big eyes and saying, "Beibei, I want to drink it too." ”
The solemn atmosphere disappeared in an instant, Jiang Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up the teapot while pouring tea for his wife, while pondering how to explain this matter.
However, Li Qiangguo didn't seem to intend to dwell on this matter, so he picked up the bronze sword and looked at it, shook his head and said, "Fake." ”
"Ah, what a fake...... Li Youqing's mouth opened slightly, and there was a slight surprise in his tone.
Speaking of which, she chose this sword, and at that time she patted her chest and swore that it was definitely a genuine bronze sword, but her dream was shattered as soon as she finished lunch.
"Don't waste money on buying this kind of antique for the old man in the future, it's not worth it. ”
Li Qiangguo drank all the water in the teacup, got up and walked towards the second floor, leaving Li Youqing with a puzzled face and Jiangbei with a worried face.
"Dad, what's wrong with today?" asked Nizi curiously.
Jiang Bei sat aside and was silent.
In fact, he had more or less guessed the reason, but he couldn't say it.
At this time, Li Youqing suddenly asked, "Could it be that the song you wrote for me was known by my father?"
Jiang Bei was shocked and turned his head to look at Li Youqing.
The latter blinked innocently, quietly leaned into his ear and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I didn't tell Dad about this, don't be afraid." ”
Scold.
I'm not afraid.
It's just a little leg shaking.
In the afternoon, the young couple still stayed at their father-in-law's house to accompany the two old men, but Li Qiangguo was unwilling to chat with them, and ran back to the room alone to take a nap, until it was close to dusk, Li Qiangguo still did not go downstairs.
Seeing that the time was not early, the little couple pondered and said hello to their mother-in-law Wen Cui'e and prepared to drive home, but when the car drove to the gate of the community, they accidentally ran into an acquaintance - New Year's Eve!
"Sister Suixi!"
The Wutong Mountain villa area is very large, and it is fate to be able to meet it, not to mention that the relationship between Li Youqing and Sui Xi is very good, so after seeing it, it is natural to stop and chat.
However, New Year's Eve is not alone, and there is a white-haired and kind old man by his side, and he learned from New Year's Eve that the identity of the other party is Nianxi's father.
New Year's Eve's father - Chen Muhua!
used to be the leader of the entertainment industry!
Because he knew the identity of his father, Jiang Bei paid a little more attention to the old man, and after saying hello, he kept silently observing the other party.
And coincidentally, the other party was also smiling and observing him.
Inexplicably, a bad feeling arose.
"Mr. Jiang, Youyou, I just went to buy vegetables, if there is nothing to do, why don't you go to my house for a light meal tonight?" After chatting for a while, Sui Xi raised the bag in his hand and took the initiative to invite.
Hearing this, Li Youqing subconsciously glanced back at Jiangbei and asked his opinion with his eyes.
Although she was asking, Jiangbei still saw the expectation in her eyes, and it was obvious that Xiao Nizi wanted to be a guest at New Year's Eve.
Helpless, I had to nod and agree: "Then we're welcome." ”
It's just that life is full of surprises (fright), the little couple here just agreed to go to the New Year's Eve house for dinner, and on the way back, they met their father-in-law Li Qiangguo who came out alone to relax.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Dad!"
"Uncle Lee. ”
"Little brother!"
And then......
The team of four became two people.
New Year's Eve and Li Youqing walked side by side at the forefront, talking and laughing.
Jiangbei in the back was sandwiched between the two old men, listening to the conversation between the two elders, his heart was like ashes.
"It turns out that brother, you are the father of a big star. ”
"Big stars can't be talked about, brother, your daughter is the real big star. ”
"Dude, you know, that's not what I want to see. ”
"Me too. ”
As soon as the conversation between the two elders ended, it was as if they were discussing and turned their eyes to Jiangbei.
"Ahem. Jiang Bei coughed embarrassedly, reached out and took out a pack of deflated cigarette cases from his pocket, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't we smoke a cigarette first to suppress the shock?"
“......”
If lunch is tasteless, then dinner is terrifying.
At a dinner table, except for his wife Li Youqing, who is a real outsider, everyone else has more or less something to do with Jiangbei, and everyone's identity can be regarded as an 'ally'.
It's just that these allies also have an antagonistic relationship with each other, so if they can, Jiangbei definitely doesn't want them to sit at the same table and eat.
Pity......
Looking at Li Qiangguo and Chen Muhua, who were drinking wine at the dinner table and calling them brothers, and then looked at Li Youqing and Sui Xi, who were as close as sisters on the other side, Jiangbei felt for the first time that the crisis had come unconsciously.
"I shouldn't be exposed......"
......
Jiangbei didn't know how he got home at night, because Li Qiangguo and Chen Muhua seemed to be full of complaints about him, and desperately poured wine on him at the dinner table, so that in the end, he was drunk unconscious in the middle of the meal, and his mind was buzzing.
Until he woke up consciously, it was already the next morning, and Li Youqing, who was sleeping next to him, also got up early and left home to go to Erjing Film and Television, leaving him only a note and a cup of sobering medicine.
I'm going to the company, remember to drink the medicine when you get up. - Love your young.
Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the note, Jiangbei put it in his pocket and kept it well, then drank the sobering medicine and picked up his mobile phone to send a message to Liangliang: "Strategist, where are you?"
"Brother Wang, my sister is in class, what are you doing?"
"Brother, return quickly. ”
Ten minutes later, the heroic Anseong gambling king returned with her bag on her back.
"You flew back, right?" Jiang Bei, who had just finished washing his face, was stunned and asked.
Merrill Lynch University is at least 10 kilometers away, and it takes 20 minutes to drive, let alone take a bus.
"Oh brother, let's not care about these details, don't I also care about your brother's safety!"
Liang Liang disagreed and dropped the bag, walked to the refrigerator and took out a version of AD calcium milk, 'Stomp and stomp~' and plugged in the tube after four sounds, picked it up and sat on the sofa and drank it deliciously.
"You still have to study hard, don't always think about skipping class every day, and if you go back and your sister-in-law knows about it, be careful to cut off your pocket money. How could Jiangbei not know that the gambling king secretly ran out of school to play again today, and reminded with a serious face.
"I won't fail the course, don't worry, brother. What's... Let's get down to business. Liang Liang hurriedly changed the topic and asked.
Jiangbei thought about it for a while, and slowly told what happened yesterday: "That's the case, I ...... with your sister-in-law yesterday."
The story is a bit long, and it took about five minutes to get things out. Then Jiangbei spent another three minutes talking about his concerns.
Zhuge Liang crossed his legs and listened carefully, touched his chin and thought: "Brother, do you mean to say that those friendly troops feel unreliable and have the danger of exposing you at any time?"
"I should say I've been exposed. It's like your uncle must have guessed that we were behind the scenes to make him down, but for some reason, he didn't make it clear and gave me a step down. ”
Jiang Bei nodded, frowned and continued: "In addition, there is also the fact that Sui Xi's father actually knows your uncle, which gives me reason to wonder if Chen Muhua already knows that I am the behind-the-scenes boss of the Erjing Group. ”
In fact, whether it is Li Qiangguo or Chen Muhua, they have both shown their faces on the main line of Jiangbei Black Wife, and they have had some communication. And each of them plays a different role, and they have no intersection with each other, and they all rely on the line of Jiangbei to link together.
Of course this was before.
If all speculation is true, then he is no longer the thread that links.
The men walked around him.
And after bypassing him, no one knows what secrets will be known and what unpredictable things will happen.
It's like Li Qiangguo secretly pointed out the New Year's Eve incident yesterday, which means that the old man already knew about the stabbing in his back.
In case Chen Muhua knew that the purpose of using him to suppress cultural and creative entertainment was to let Li Youqing enter Erjing Film and Television, wouldn't he be cool?
"Why don't you analyze?"
Jiang Bei couldn't help but ask when he saw that he was cold and sullen and drank milk.
Seeing that her brother is about to fall into dire straits, she is still in the mood to eat and drink here.
"Analyze what?" Liang Liang replied blankly, raising his head.
"Help me think of a way to avoid exposing myself!"
"Brother, do you think that the more they know, the more unfavorable it will be for you?" Liang Liang shook his head and said, "I don't think so, in fact, whether it is Chen Muhua or Uncle, even if they know that you stabbed them behind their backs, they will not expose you." ”
"Why?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
"Because you are a gang! Have you ever seen a criminal organization turn itself in and report its accomplices because of internal contradictions?" Zhuge Liang said sharply.
There seems to be some truth to this.
But it's not completely reassuring.
"That being said, even if your uncle and Chen Muhua are silent because they have done things with us to stop their daughter's dreams. But you have to know that on the road of getting your sister-in-law to quit the entertainment industry, there are a lot of people involved! You can guarantee that these people won't shake things out?" Jiang Bei rubbed his eyebrows that caused headaches caused by excessive drinking last night, and sighed.
A secret that a person knows, as long as he wants to, he can hide it forever.
Two people know a secret, and maybe they can keep it hidden.
But if many people know, then this secret will not last long, and it is only a matter of time before it is exposed.
Liang Liang felt that what his brother said was also a little reasonable, and after drinking a bottle of AD calcium milk, the little girl made a fierce gesture, and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, then we can only ......"
"What do you want to do? No matter how you don't kill people, right?" Jiang Bei was startled and reprimanded in a serious tone.
Not to mention that this is an era of peace, in terms of the seriousness of the matter, how can it not reach the level of killing people!
Liang Liang said "oops" and replied, "Brother, what do you want? I mean that since I am afraid that someone will shake things out, let my sister-in-law know all this." It's better for us to do it as soon as possible, so that they can keep this secret forever. ”
"What do you mean......"
"Count which characters are involved in this matter, it was the entertainment industry that signed them into Erjing Film and Television, the business circle that got them into the hot pot restaurant, Canadian Solar, the Erjing Cinema Line, the political circles who controlled his black material, and the older ones who sent them to nursing homes...... As long as we grasp the handle that is closely related to their interests and careers, and then warn them one by one, then who will dare to talk nonsense at that time?"
"It's called catching them all!"
"What if it's a student?" Jiang Bei glanced at the gambling king and asked.
Liang Liang waved his hand: "Send it to the kindergarten for renovation!"
......
The gambling king's plan has a certain feasibility, but it also has great drawbacks. Because this practice can only be temporary, once he finishes playing the cards in his hand, then he will lose the ability to restrain these people. And the secret is a lifelong thing, so if you want to solve this problem, you have to use some gentle means.
For example, like Li Qiangguo, you can play a family card.
Another example is Chen Muhua, who can continue to help him fulfill his dream of letting his daughter quit the entertainment industry.
Then people like Sui Xi, Hai Da Fat, and Ji Yingzi have to give them some benefits.
Right!
That's it.
And just when Jiangbei secretly began to patch up what he had done, the reprieve period that had been immersed for two months finally ushered in an outbreak.
"Manager Zuo, I have joined Erjing Film and Television for two months, why doesn't the company help me make a work plan?"
