Guo Yang returned to the room, opened a bottle of red wine, and drank slowly.

The phone rang, Guo Yang glanced at it, and saw that it was Guo Linlin calling, and knew that it was related to Ouyang Li's matter.

"Linlin, it's me. ”

"Brother, I've looked for Ouyang Li, it's done!" Guo Linlin said excitedly: "The tourism bureau informed me that we can redecorate immediately, as long as our funds are all in place, the property right change can also be done immediately." ”

This was originally expected by Guo Yang.

Ouyang Li made a hindrance from it, perhaps out of public intentions, or out of selfish interests. But no matter what, since Ouyang Li has been given enough sincerity, she will obviously not be unkind.

In the current context of the prevailing rules of human favor and gray rules, no one will go against the trend.

In fact, Ai Bing Bookstore and Xinhua Bookstore are two economic entities that are not related to each other. Xinhua Bookstore's special system and business environment are destined to be unable to compete with other entities on the same level for the time being, or in other words, there are fundamentally different consumer groups between the two, and there is no competition.

If there is really competition, Xinhua Bookstore will definitely die. Because Xinhua Bookstore's purchase channels and operating costs are not known to be much higher than Ai Bing Bookstore.

Guo Yang smiled: "Linlin, you go and do it, this will be the experience in the future." What we paid was a negligible price. We are a humane society, and some gray unspoken rules are unavoidable. Remember, this kind of thing should be done secretly, and it is best to list it separately when making accounts, so as not to leave sequelae for yourself and cause trouble to others. ”

Guo Yang was referring to the salary given to Ouyang Li about the vice president of the club.

This is self-justifying and plausible. Ouyang Li is the manager of Xinhua Bookstore, a semi-official representative of the city's book industry, and it is reasonable for her to be the advisor and vice chairman of the book club.

Guo Linlin agreed with a smile: "Brother, I understand, you can rest assured." By the way, Zhang Dong came to me and said that one of his relatives was doing renovation projects, so should we hand over our project to him?"

Guo Yang categorically rejected it without thinking: "No, Linlin, we have given him everything we should give, he can't be insatiable." Such a person cannot be connived up. Once this opening is made, he will continue to reach out to us in the future. ”

Guo Linlin snorted: "I understand." I'll just say, a little section chief, why don't you know how to advance or retreat like this? Anyway, we're not afraid of offending him!"

"It's not a question of offense or not, but of being measured in everything. ”

"Linlin, I heard that Yao Zekai's brother is on the decoration team, right?" Guo Yang said softly.

Guo Linlin on the other end of the phone obviously blushed: "Yes, brother, how do you know?"

Guo Yang smiled but did not speak.

He was a very cautious man. Since he wants to use Yao Zekai, how can he not investigate Yao Zekai's origin clearly.

When Ai Bing was shopping and Ai Bing's main store was being renovated, he was secretly observing to see if Yao Zekai would be pretending to be public and private. But Yao Zekai didn't do that.

This at least shows that on major issues of right and wrong, Yao Zekai is still reliable and can withstand a certain amount of temptation and pressure.

In this case, Guo Yang can't be too unkind, and must give Guo Linlin and Yao Zekai a certain amount of space.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and there are no fugitives when people are observed.

"Linlin, the so-called fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, our own project, take care of Xiaoyao's brother, but the quality must be controlled. Guo Yang took the initiative to speak, resolving Guo Linlin's unspeakability.

Yao Zekai's brother has looked for Yao Zekai several times, but Yao Zekai has not agreed, but he is still quite embarrassed in his heart. Guo Linlin saw that her fiancé was in trouble, so she wanted to talk to Guo Yang to see if she could sell some favors to Yao Zekai.

"Brother, thank you! I thank you for Yao Zekai!" Guo Linlin was very moved.

She can feel Guo Yang's care and consideration for her.

The transfer of interests is one thing, and the concern of family members is more empathetic.

Guo Yang laughed: "We are a family, why do you say such kind words? You tell Xiao Yao that if the construction quality of his brother's decoration team is acceptable, all our future projects will be handed over to him......

Guo Yang's promise can be regarded as a gift package and reward, and it can also be regarded as an invisible warning.

He is not stingy in giving favors. He is not hesitant to give benefits. But he resolutely rejects anyone fishing in troubled waters from him. Yao Zekai can't either.

With the same price and the same quality, it is not impossible for Yao Zekai's relatives to do it. But there is a premise, and without this premise, everything is equal to zero. If Yao Zekai's relatives fish in troubled waters here, Guo Yang will definitely not scruple about his feelings.

It was okay to stay in the hotel in the afternoon, Guo Yang thought about it, and decided to go out to see his mentor, Yang Chengdian, a professor at Yan University.

Guo Yang is one of Yang Chengdian's most admired and favorite students who have been teaching for more than 20 years. It is not in Guo Yang's academic performance, but in Guo Yang's understanding and aura.

In the four years of college, Guo Yang and Zhou Bing were frequent guests at Yang Chengdian's dinner table. Because the school cafeteria food is average, Yang Chengdian often calls Guo Yang back to his home to improve the food.

Compared with the economics, science and engineering experts and professors who often go around the country to make money, Yang Chengdian, who is obsessed with teaching and academic research for undergraduates and focuses on literature and history, has an average family background.

He still lives in the faculty dormitory of Yan University, an ordinary three-bedroom apartment. The most valuable thing in the house is probably the latest computer.

Before Guo Yang went to Yang's house, he bought two bottles of Moutai in a shopping mall near Yanda, and bought a silk scarf from Jiangnan for Yang Chengdian's wife Ma Lan as a gift for visiting Yang's family.

Although Professor Yang does not attach importance to these things, as a disciple, it is always rude to enter the door empty-handed when visiting his teacher in Beijing.

This is the first time Guo Yang has come to Yang's house after graduating from university.

Therefore, when Guo Yang knocked on the door, Ma Lan, who had an elegant temperament, was obviously stunned for a moment, but she immediately laughed happily: "Guo Yang?! Come on, come on, please come in! Lao Yang, Guo Yang, the student you were talking about two days ago is here!"

Yang Chengdian was watering the flowers on the balcony, and suddenly heard his wife say that Guo Yang was coming, so he walked to the living room.

Guo Yang stood in front of Yang Chengdian and bowed deeply: "Teacher!"

Yang Chengdian laughed: "Do you kid remember me as a teacher?

Ma Lan made a pot of tea, and the master and apprentice sat on the sofa in the living room and talked.

When Guo Yang graduated, Yang Chengdian originally suggested that Guo Yang stay in school for graduate school and strive to stay in school to teach. But at that time, Guo Yang and Zhou Bing were in love, and Zhou Bing wanted to go back, so Guo Yang could only accompany him, so he gave up studying for graduate school.

In Yang Chengdian's heart, Guo Yang is really a good seedling for academic research.

Guo Yang gave up further study for love, which made Yang Chengdian regret it for a long time.

"Reporter?" Yang Chengdian frowned: "Although it can be regarded as a professional counterpart, but ...... Wasted your academic talents, Guo Yang. ”

"Teacher, I don't have any talent. I think I'm in a good state now, and it's good to be a little reporter, come and go freely, do something useful in my spare time, and do something useful. ”

Regarding Guo Yang's "do something useful in his spare time", Yang Chengdian didn't think much about it, but asked casually: "What about Zhou Bing?"

"Teacher, Xiaoice went to the United States to study for a year, and now she works in her family's company. ”

Yang Chengdian was surprised: "Zhou Bing's family has a family business?"

Zhou Bing is a simple and simple girl in college, she is not out of line when she dresses, and she is even more gentle and low-key, Yang Chengdian has always thought that she was born in an intellectual family, but she didn't expect Zhou Bing to be a rich second generation.

It's really a rich second generation like no other.

In fact, not only Yang Chengdian, but even Guo Yang was not aware of Zhou Bing's identity as a wealthy daughter at that time.

Guo Yang smiled: "Teacher, Xiaoice's family has a business, the scale is not small, she went to the family business to work and practice, should be ready to take over." ”

Yang Chengdian sighed with emotion: "No wonder you have to go back, it turns out that you have your own resources and platforms, but the teacher has done it too much!"

Guo Yang smiled bitterly in his heart, how difficult and complicated is as simple as Yang Chengdian thought, the Zhou family is the Zhou family, and it has nothing to do with him. But he couldn't talk more about these things to Professor Yang, so he could only keep silent.

The Yang family's phone rang, and Ma Lan went to pick it up, but without saying a few words, Guo Yang found that Ma Lan's expression was slightly stiff from the corner of his eyes.

Ma Lan covered the telephone receiver and turned her head to look at Yang Chengdian.

Yang Chengdian raised his eyebrows: "Who?

Ma Lan said softly: "It's Hu Yong! Hu Yong said that he would bring his girlfriend to the house for dinner in the evening, and by the way, he also recognized the door......

Yang Cheng's face immediately changed, and he waved his hand: "Deduct the phone!"

Ma Lan smiled helplessly, turned her head, didn't listen to Yang Chengdian's words, and continued to talk to the person on the other end of the phone.

Guo Yang clearly felt the sudden change in Yang Chengdian's mood. The gloom and annoyance in his eyes were something Guo Yang had never seen before.

Ma Lan put down the phone and walked over and said softly: "Lao Yang, Xiao Yong is going to bring his girlfriend to the door, don't you always twist it, what's the matter, you have to give the child a face, don't you?"

Yang Chengdian snorted coldly.

Hearing about the private affairs involving the Yang family, Guo Yang felt a little embarrassed, and was about to get up and say goodbye.

Yang Chengdian grabbed Guo Yang: "You just came and are leaving? Have dinner at the teacher's house in the evening! We haven't seen each other for two years, drink some wine and have a good chat!"

Guo Yang smiled bitterly: "Teacher, you have guests at home, I'm inconvenient, right?"

Yang Chengdian sneered: "What's inconvenient - I won't accept him when he comes, Lao Ma, don't care about him, you go and prepare a few dishes, I'll drink some wine with Guo Yang!"

……

Guo Yang went to the kitchen to help Ma Lan prepare dinner.

Yang Chengdian said that it didn't matter the visiting guests, but Ma Lan still prepared a meal for four or five people.

Ma Lan hid in the kitchen, avoided Yang Chengdian, and quietly told Guo Yang a little about the Yang family's private affairs.

It was Yang Chengdian's eldest son Hu Yong who was coming in the evening. Yang Chengdian is the son of his ex-wife Hu Ping. Yang Chengdian and Ma Lan also have a son, who is currently studying in a university abroad.

Yang Chengdian's ex-wife Hu Ping went abroad to the United States that year, met a wealthy Chinese businessman, divorced Yang Chengdian, and settled in the United States with his son.

In fact, divorce is nothing, you can live together, but you can't live together. However, Hu Ping disliked Yang Chengdian for being poor and threw herself into the arms of wealthy businessmen, and she later changed her son's surname to Hu, which directly angered Yang Chengdian.

The traditional Yang Chengdian believes that this is a number of books to forget their ancestors, unforgivable. He was even angry with his son.

The two fell out and never communicated again.

The year before last, Hu Ping divorced a wealthy businessman and returned to China with his son. Hu Ping founded a cultural and entertainment company and set up a number of properties in Beijing. This originally had nothing to do with the Yang family, the two families had already stopped from the river water, and the road went to one side of the sky.

It's just that the news of his son Hu Yong, as one of the young people in the capital, came to Yang Chengdian's ears from time to time through media reports, which made Yang Chengdian angry.

He thinks that Hu Ping, a shameless woman who worships money, ruined his son, the blood of the Yang family.

Yang Chengdian went to find Hu Ping once, and naturally broke up unhappily. And Hu Yong's actions also made Yang Chengdian extremely disappointed.

In particular, Hu Yong toyed with a female student at the School of Art of Yan University last year in the name of falling in love, causing the girl to commit suicide by jumping off the building, which was hyped up in the news media.

This kind of thing is common in the eyes of his son's brother Hu Yong, and Hu Ping doesn't care about it, but it has touched Professor Yang Chengdian's moral bottom line. He was so angry that he fell seriously ill and vowed on the spot to sever the father-son relationship with Hu Yong and never get along.

Guo Yang was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Professor Yang to have such an unbearable emotional experience, and a scholar with a noble character like Yang Chengdian actually gave birth to a son who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

Therefore, a good background doesn't mean anything. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice are born to make holes, which is not an immutable universal truth. The key lies in the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, as well as the environment.

If Yang Yong had not followed his mercenary mother Hu Ping, but grew up under Yang Chengdian's upbringing, it would obviously be impossible to have Hu Yong, who later spent all his time drinking.

Compared with Hu Yong, Yang Chengdian and Ma Lan's son Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng is excellent in his studies, which makes the Yang family proud.

"Auntie, the teacher never mentioned that he had another son, I ......really didn't expect it," Guo Yang smiled lightly.

"The two of them have always been incompatible, Lao Yang is not angry when he sees him, he has always been ashamed of him, how can he mention it to outsiders?" Ma Lan sighed lightly: "But then again, no matter how unbearable Hu Yong is, it is also his own flesh and blood, and the connection of blood is constantly cut." ”

"So, don't look at your teacher's hard mouth, in fact, he still thinks about Hu Yong's ...... in his heart"

Guo Yang sighed and didn't continue. After all, this is a private matter of the Yang family, and it is inappropriate to say too much. Yang Chengdian and Ma Lan did not avoid this, and told each other bluntly, which was a kind of high look.

Out of the corner of Guo Yang's eyes, he glanced into the living room of the Yang family. I saw Yang Chengdian holding a cigarette, staring gloomily in the direction of the balcony, his back a little lonely.
