Flip the square head in front of the face!

Except for Boss Gu five years ago, who else in the entire Wolongtang would dare to brag about this cowhide? Even Gu Yufei and Fang Datou back then had always respected each other and talked about each other with their shoulders flat.

More than 20 years ago, when Wolongtang was just a small village that could not eat the mountains and could not drink from the sea, the four brothers Gu Da, Fang Er, Xue San, and Gong Si pinned their heads to their trouser belts and engaged in the business of smuggling at sea. The first pot of gold that started Wolongtang's career came from his contribution.

Today, although Wolongtang is crumbling, Fang Baiyu still operates a chain of golden buildings with business all over the province and abroad. Speaking of the name of Espressif Jewelry, it is not only the mountain sound called on the ground in Qinzhou, but also the Jianye with a population of 8 million.

As a benchmark figure in this era of private economic development, it can be said that his influence has long surpassed the one-third of an acre of Wolongtang.

Gu Tianyou had already blown out the cowhide, and without taking advantage of his relationship with Fang Le'er, he would come to the door as Gu's eldest son! Gu Yufei had been dead for almost five years, and Gu Tianyou was just an illegitimate child who grew up in prison and was not welcomed. How much influence this identity can have on the other party's big head is desperate to think about.

At least Lao Geng is not optimistic that Tianyou can successfully persuade Fang Datou. At this moment, he was watching cartoons with the big-eyed girl, and the clever little mouse on TV was playing poor Tom around. The big-eyed girl let out a pleasant laugh from time to time. She laughed, and Lao Geng laughed along. Looking at the stiff smile on his face, which was stiffer than the Antarctic permafrost, Gu Tianyou had to sigh at the greatness of his father's love, and at the same time, he felt a little regretful for his previous act of rushing to the crown and becoming angry. Goddaughters are like this, not to mention that Fang Leer is Fang Datou's daughter.

Regret is regret, Gu Tianyou has no intention of changing his mind.

The weather is a bit muggy, and the temperature of the air conditioner is what the big-eyed girl likes. This old glass has fully entered the role. Gu Tianyou looked at the remote control in Lao Geng's hand, and thought about it several times but couldn't get it. At this moment, I feel like an ant on a hot pot, and a wave of irritability wells up in my heart. Let's go out for a cigarette. As soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard footsteps outside the gate. Turning his head to look, he saw Fang Hongpeng, the second eldest of Fang Baiyu's family, leading the two of them to cross the threshold and come to the courtyard without the consent of the master.

Lao Tzu hasn't looked for you yet, but you came to the door first.

Fang Hongpeng, who has just passed the year of establishment, is a well-known figure on Qinzhou Road. Outside, he is a young entrepreneur with lofty ambitions, and he stomps on the Qinzhou Road and trembles;

Among the three sons, he was the one who was most like Fang Baiyu. Whether it is appearance or personality, he stubbornly inherited Fang Datou's genetic characteristics.

As far as Gu Tianyou knows, the second child of the Fang family has already moved out of Wolongtang, and he rarely comes back outside of the New Year's Festival. Unless Fang Datou has a big deal to do with him.

As soon as Fang Hongpeng entered the door, he shouted uncleanly: "Where is the little deflated third son of the old Gu family?"

From Gu Yufei's point of view, Gu Tianyou should call him the third brother-in-law, the three flowers of the old Gu family, and the three half-sisters of Tianyou are called Gu Xuejiao, Gu Xueman and Gu Xueting, this Fang Hongpeng married the third Gu Xueting. The third brother-in-law has a young version of Fang Datou, with a meat bun on his head, two owl-like eyebrows, eyelashes protruding neatly like an old cow, a pair of big leopard eyes, and a fierce light, which gives people a great sense of oppression with his 1.9 meter height.

Comparatively speaking, the brother of the Fang family is quite polite to Tianyou. Even in the air, there is no open mouth wild seed and closed mouth wild seed.

Gu Tianyou had neither closeness nor awe for him, he walked out of the house slowly, stood under the eaves and said, "Yo, isn't this Second Brother Fang?

"Don't pretend to be confused with me!" Fang Hongpeng asked angrily: "Little deflated San'er, let me ask you, where did you go this afternoon?"

"Does it matter to you where I go?" Gu Tianyou didn't care: "I need to report to you, are you the Public Security Bureau or my father?"

"Xiao Qisan, I'll kill you today!" Fang Hongpeng was furious, stepped over, and stretched out his fist to fight.

Gu Tianyou dodged sideways, grabbed his wrist with his left hand, supported his armpit with his right hand, twisted his body, and carried him up, intending to give him an over-the-shoulder fall.

The third brother-in-law left Wolongtang at the age of eighteen and made a name for himself in Qinzhou City, after all, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and as soon as his body left the ground, he immediately fell from Tianyou's back with a quick roll. Although it was embarrassing, it was better than being thrown over the shoulder. Gu Tianyou was still holding his wrist, his right hand was changed to grasping, picking at his armpit, taking advantage of the moment when he was in pain and relieved, his left hand twisted and grabbed Fang Hongpeng's arm in reverse.

Fang Hongpeng is really a man enough, his arm was twisted and deformed, but this guy doesn't hum or ha. The other hand took out a pistol from his waist and shook it in front of Tianyou's eyes. Gu Tianyou let him go very shamefully, clapped his hands and smiled: "They are all relatives, what is not good to say, why do you have to do it as soon as you come up?"

Fang Hongpeng was angry, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Who the hell is related to you, I am your third brother-in-law!" After speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake, and he was angry and wanted to do it, looked at the gun in his hand, and then looked at Gu Tianyou, hesitated, and stuffed the gun back into its place.

"The old man wants to see you, so come with me now. ”

Gu Tianyou glanced back at the room, there was no one in the hall, and at some point, Lao Geng had already taken the big-eyed girl upstairs. The old comrades clearly wanted to stay out of the matter. It seems that Brother Tianyou can only go to the meeting alone.

Gu Tianyou came to Fang's house hard, and when he entered the door, he saw Fang Datou sitting under the porch, with a big bald head with a shiny oil, a pair of owl eyebrows like big brushes and oblique sideburns, which were particularly conspicuous, and a tiger skin was spread on the chair under the buttocks.

Speaking of this tiger skin, there is a great origin. It is said that Fang Datou suffered from rheumatism because of walking on a boat at sea back then, and for this matter, Gu Yufei spent a lot of money to get a Siberian tiger weighing more than 300 kilograms from Russia. Tiger bones soak in wine, tiger meat replenishes the body, and this tiger skin has always been with you.

"I heard you want to talk to me?"

Fang Datou motioned for irrelevant people to go out, his voice was not high, but he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

Gu Tianyou was not very afraid of him, but because of Fang Le'er, he was a little weak-hearted. Hearing him ask, he immediately realized that someone had reported to him first. The only people who knew that they were looking for him were Lao Geng and Le'er. You don't have to think about it to guess, it must be that Le'er told Fang Datou about the relationship between the two of them first in order to help herself.

Since Gu Yufei died, Gu Tianyou stayed in Wolongtang for nearly five years, and there was almost no intersection with Fang Datou. At most, say hello out of politeness when you meet. It's the first time I've actually dealt with it. stepped forward, nodded politely, called Second Uncle Fang, and asked, "Did Le'er tell you?"

"You still have the face to talk to me. Fang Baiyu was angry, suddenly glared at the second son behind Tianyou, and asked, "Didn't you let him teach him a lesson first?"

Fang Hongpeng shrank his neck in fright, scratched his head and stammered: "Give, give, but, no, I haven't beaten." ”

"Just your stupid appearance of 'sawdust in your eyes', you are still known as the Tiger of Qinzhou?" Fang Datou was angry, and he scolded: "It's not much better than that 'green-bellied monkey'." "Fang Datou's generation has not read for a few days, and he has a strong sense of locality, and he doesn't like to speak Mandarin on weekdays, which is not a special occasion for the outside world. The sawdust in the eyes means fools and fools, and the green-bellied monkeys refer to the offspring. To use it here is to scold your son for being useless.

Fang Hongpeng didn't dare to refute, and stood there with his head down, silent.

Gu Tianyou said: "I also want to thank the third brother-in-law's subordinates for showing mercy, and finally didn't let me be carried to see you." ”

Fang Datou snorted, his eyes turned to Tianyou's face, and he looked at it for a long time, and said: "The girls of your old Gu family are all good, all the men are white-faced, and they don't have good intentions, I also said this when your father was alive." ”

Gu Tianyou is neither salty nor light: "The blood of the little white face is also hot." ”

Fang Datou glanced at Gu Tianyou, who was dressed and thin, and then looked at his son, who was tall and tall, and didn't want to continue this topic, so he suddenly asked, "You have been in Wolongtang for more than four years, right?"

"Four years and seven months. Gu Tianyou replied in a proper manner.

"Hmm" Fang Datou nodded and said, "Sixteen when I came, is it twenty or twenty-one this year?"

Gu Tianyou: "If you are less than twenty-one years old, you can count it as twenty-two if you are not old." ”

"When you were injured three years ago, I wanted to meet you, but at the gate of the hospital, I ran into the eldest son of Yang Cripple in Feihuling. Fang Datou's eyes were blazing, staring at Tianyou, and asked word by word: "Tell me what you and that kid have been busy with in the past few years?"

Gu Tianyou already knew that he couldn't hide it, and replied truthfully: "Yang Wenshan paid for it, and I paid for it, and started a fake cigarette and alcohol business, and in the next two years, I cooperated with Indonesians to make a gambling website and a small business that smoked some water." ”

"It's all a profiteering industry, and I guess it's been a lot of money in the past few years. Fang Datou couldn't see whether he was satisfied with Tianyou's answer, and asked again, "Why didn't you do it suddenly?"

Gu Tianyou said: "I couldn't do anything else before, so I had to take risks and play side balls, but now I have more choices, and I don't want to continue to take risks." ”

This answer reminded Fang Baiyu of the past, when the four brothers ran a boat on the sea hand in hand, trying to make huge profits, and later, under the leadership of Boss Gu, they all went ashore and turned to the right line. Over the years, whenever I recall this past, I can't help but admire Gu Yufei's foresight back then. In particular, in the past few years, in order to join the WTO, the central authorities have intensified the rectification of smuggling activities in the southeast coastal economic belt, and many big smugglers who have just run boats with their brothers have been found in other places, but none of them have come to a good end.

"So you want to turn to the right line?" Fang Datou asked with a slightly slower expression.

"Yes!" Gu Tianyou said with a straight face: "You can't always put your head on your belt to live." ”

"Hey, hey. Fang Datou's big face showed a rare smile, and said: "Doing the right thing may not be risky, otherwise the shopping mall is the battlefield." After a moment's notice, he asked, "I heard that you like to read books very much, and what do you read?"

"When I was in prison, there was a teacher who forced me to memorize a lot of books on politics and economy, and at that time I only knew rote memorization, and when the conditions were convenient when I came out, I wanted to figure out the doorway inside. Gu Tianyou replied cautiously, a serious nonsense.

Fang Datou nodded and said: "Reading is a good habit, but you can't read books to death, the truth in the book is good, but the people who do things may not be so well-behaved, as long as it is a business that deals with people, there is no absolute serious business." ”

So far in the conversation, the atmosphere seems to be becoming more and more harmonious. Fang Datou didn't look like he wanted to ask the teacher, but like the ability of a hairy-footed son-in-law who came to the school for the examination. The tense heartstrings in Gu Tianyou's heart relaxed slightly, but at this moment, Fang Datou's expression suddenly changed, and his voice suddenly increased: "Gu Tianyou, originally what your little rabbit cub wants to do is none of Lao Tzu's business, but you shouldn't provoke my family Le'er, let me ask you, what are your plans next?"

Fang Datou's attitude changed very suddenly, Tianyougang's heartstrings were tensed in an instant, and he didn't understand what the old boy meant, and he didn't know how to answer all of a sudden.

Gu Tianyou's momentary hesitation gave Fang Dafa a reason: "You little deflated three, you really have the same virtue as your dead ghost Lao Tzu!"

This old boy is worthy of stepping on both black and white, a heroic character who has been up and down in the business sea for many years, and from the beginning of the conversation to the present, the content and rhythm changes are all under his control. Gu Tianyou grew up in prison for 14 years, has a wide range of knowledge, and has been trained by Long Ye, Miao Shifan and the leader of the demolition team, as well as the old immortal living social encyclopedia, living alone in Wolongtang for more than four years. It's really time to fight, but it is still inevitable to fall behind everywhere.

Gu Tianyou's mind was racing, and he couldn't let him have such a subjective determination, if the negotiation opponent was the veteran Fang Datou of the shopping mall, he was still a little sure, and if he was talking about cooperation with an angry father, there was almost no possibility of success. Something had to be said.

"Gu Yufei and I are different!" Gu Tianyou first categorically denied Fang Baiyu's speculative determination, and then said: "The matter between me and Le'er has nothing to do with what you and I want to talk about today, the person standing in front of you is the only son of your sworn brother." After that, he deliberately straightened his body and looked at Fang Baiyu without evasion.

"Do you think that if you don't have fun, you will have this opportunity to shout in front of Lao Tzu?" Fang Datou lowered his voice, still not angry and arrogant.

"What happened between me and Le'er was something about the two of us, she was an adult, I wasn't a child, and we both took responsibility for the decisions we made. Gu Tianyou tried his best to pull the topic out of this matter: "As a father, you should believe in your children, and as the leader of Wolongtang, you should be more concerned about the dilemma that Wolongtang will face next." ”

Fang Datou Huo Ran stood up and stepped in front of Tianyou in one step: "Little rabbit cub, who do you think you are? What else will you do besides deceiving a simple and ignorant little girl and making some crooked ways?"

Fang Baiyu didn't give Tianyou a chance to defend at all, and the questions came over one after another: "Do you know what kind of person you Lao Tzu is? Do you know why he got that result? Do you know what the four of us have done to maintain Wolongtang until today?"

"You don't know anything, so you look for Dai Xiaolou to check Beiwang, and try to overturn the lawsuit we lost five years ago, you want to resurrect Wolongtang, but you don't know what kind of opponent is hidden under this lid, I don't deny it, you have done a good job in the past four years, and even far exceeded your Lao Tzu's expectations for you, but if you want to put the smashed sign of Wolongtang back up, you are still too far away. ”

"I don't know anything, but I know one thing, which is that if I don't do anything, I can't do anything in the end. Gu Tianyou's face was expressionless, and his tone was resolute: "I probably know something now, Wolongtang is a product of the times, but the era that belongs to it has passed, those who smashed this brand at the beginning will only be stronger than at the beginning, and even the three who survived are so strong that they dare not fight, they divided the four billion that disappeared back then, and crushed Wolongtang with this burden, and finally, they want to completely make Wolongtang disappear in the southeast business district, and you would rather be a spectator." ”

"We're spectators, what about you? What are you/? a naïve fellow with more ambition than ability. Fang Baiyu-for-tat: "We can at least keep the peace and happiness of this side of the water and soil, even if the industry in Wolongtang is completely gone, my Xinle jewelry is still there, Gong Hanzhang's Feida real estate is still there, your Uncle Shuanglin's Bafang Building is still there, and the rice bowls of more than 2,000 old and young masters in the village are still there, and you kid can still live well and hook up with my stupid stinky girl." ”

"Fang Datou, maybe what you said is right, but you are wrong about the fact, it is true that I am Gu Yufei's son, but the name Gu Tianyou was not given by him, I can survive in such a place, it is by no means a naïve guy you say, I didn't rely on a few of you to secretly protect me to live to this day, I knew a long time ago that Gu Yufei intended to let you treat me coldly, in fact, it was to sharpen me. ”

Even Fang Datou called out, Gu Tianyou didn't expect to be able to convince him now, but some words were not vomited in his heart, and he simply spewed out in one breath: "I am a person who lacks principles, and the only principle that I have survived to this day is that revenge must be avenged! The Gu family has a fertility grace for me, Gu Yufei has done everything he could do at that time for me, an illegitimate child, and I have not repaid this kindness, and those who forced him to death are my enemies, and I have not repaid this revenge, now you want me to give up all this, do you think I will agree?"

Fang Datou's face was pale, and he was silent, and the atmosphere was so solid that Fang Hongpeng on the side trembled, and even felt difficult to breathe.

"What if it's for fun? What if I agree to the two of you being together on the condition that you have to give up your plan to repay your kindness and revenge?" Fang Datou raised his head sharply, stared at Tianyou, and suddenly split his head and continued to ask: "Haven't you always had your own plans? Do you want to go abroad with Le'er to be a happy rich second generation? You want to repay the favor and take revenge, but have you ever thought about what will happen after failure?"

"You must be clear, your enemy is by no means as simple as a few people, Wolongtang is a product of the times, it is another era that destroys Wolongtang and your father, this era is not over, if you insist on going your own way, the possibility of success is almost zero, and one day you are beaten to death on the beach by the tide of the times, have you ever thought about what to do with my daughter?"

"That's the biggest difference between me and you, you've decided you've failed, and I just want to do my best. Gu Tianyou's arrow has left the string, and there is no possibility of giving up, "The so-called planning is in the sky, success or failure is the choice of fate, and I will correct you, what I want to deal with is just a few miscellaneous people who have a grudge against me in this era, whether these people are in a high position, or they are surrounded by thousands of people, they are just the tide of the times, and they are by no means the people who promote the trend!"

"In your time, when you pinned your head to the waistband to fight the world, did you ever think about your wives and children? Le'er She chose me, not because of whose son I was, nor because I had or lost anything, she just wanted to be with me, she was ready to accept everything about me, including my failure, just like when Su Xiazhu and your wife watched you and Gu Yufei sail into the sea with their children in their arms. ”

Fang Datou listened very seriously, the expression on his face was unpredictable, sometimes he didn't think so, sometimes he seemed to appreciate it, and when Tianyou didn't say anything, he pondered for a long time and finally sighed: "It seems that you don't plan to listen to me tonight?"

"Not just tonight, if you're stubborn, I'll do it to the end on my own. Gu Tianyou resolutely said: "If it's really for fun, maybe you should consider what to help me from." ”

"It's impossible to stand up and help you, after all, I still have the entire Wolongtang Village behind me. Fang Baiyu said in a deep voice: "However, I can promise that in the process of your operation of this matter, Wolongtang will not become an obstacle to you, but you must give me three guarantees, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you must live well, no matter what, you must try your best to protect Le'er from being harmed, and the whole thing is done in your personal name, we don't know anything." ”

Coming out of the Fang family, it was difficult to calm down in his mind, and a thought suddenly popped up: Fang Datou and their generation are already old. is no longer the private king of the mountain who licked the blood with the knife head back then. It's like the dead tiger at his feet, he can only pretend.
