Section 295 Back
The ritual is usually seven days, people come to worship one by one, and during the day it is a flowing water seat card game, if it is in normal times, the relationship with the deceased is not too close, for these people, it may be a rare opportunity to gather, of course, this time is different.
Although Huang Bingxiang was isolated and examined in the first two months, and the news he got from any aspect believed that he no longer had a chance to turn around, some people still had some hope after all, looking for connections everywhere, and running for it, but at this time, the review was over, and they had begun to prepare to file a lawsuit, and the whole thing was tantamount to conclusive evidence and certainty. At this time when the Huang family collapsed, there was a sudden such a funeral, perhaps for the sadness of the old man, but more, it was combined with what happened in the past two months, the sense of boredom and chaos generated.
The people running back and forth but a little overwhelmed, the dull atmosphere, the quiet children, the formulaic worship process in the mourning hall, the entire Huang family villa, with the monotonous funeral songs, seemed to be shrouded in a haze and a halo of depression. Occasionally, people pass by the roadside, pointing inside, some happy, some suspicious, some disdainful.
If the Huang family had a funeral in the past, it was done with great fanfare, and passers-by would see it, probably saying "thousands of wreaths", "the secretary of the municipal party committee has come", "that's the boss of a certain group and a certain company", and other sentences with envy, as if this is not a funeral but a happy event that can be used to show off.
Although the provincial-level officialdom crime will never be revealed too much to the outside world before the end of the trial, there are not a few people who know it, and the direction of the words has already become "a corrupt official's family", "more than innocent" and the like, if it is a person who lives nearby, he watched the Huang family develop step by step, and then declined overnight, and I am afraid that there is some embarrassment in the words.
In the past, there were crowds of people at such funerals, and there was a constant flow of traffic in the streets and alleys outside. It was a very hot atmosphere, people came one after another to worship, gifts, and then in such an atmosphere with familiar people casually talked about business, waiting for dinner, children joked everywhere, only when it was too much, the adults would scold, after all, it was a funeral. It can't be so public, relatively speaking, the atmosphere this time is really in line with the taste of the funeral.
Rats leave a sinking ship. But the Huang family's camel, which is about to die of emaciation, is bigger than a horse after all, and there are still many people who come and go to worship after all, but some party and government leaders will naturally not set foot in the muddy waters of the Huang family again. Many bosses and wealthy businessmen who still talk about favors also pay respects, and then lie that they have something to do and leave early, as for staying here for lunch or dinner. Naturally, he will not talk about any business again, Huang Bingxiang cared too much about the family when he was in power, and this time he was implicated. Countless small companies are on the verge of bankruptcy. Most of the people who were talking in groups of three or five in the courtyard and in the villa had sad faces. Some people often quarrel with people when they say they are not going well.
In this case. Affected by the pond fish, most of them are those who are still young, do not know how to observe words and colors, when playing in the house and outside, maybe when they will be scolded, after a day or two, no matter how naughty the children are most likely to be said to tremble, late spring and early summer, the afternoon sky is gloomy, just against this atmosphere that even the most innocent children seem heavy, the music, the sound of someone coming to the place of worship from time to time from the loudspeaker monotonously came out of the loudspeaker.
At the back of the villa, in a corridor near the lawn and pond, Yahan was standing with a man in his fifties, her hair pulled up at the back of her head, wearing black wide-brimmed tortoiseshell eyes, a butterfly collar white shirt, a black coat, a spring skirt of the same plain white color, and a tall figure with thin heels.
“…… The affairs of the Huang family, sigh...... At that time, Huang Wuping was still in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and the villa of the Huang family was also a symbol of the first generation of Jianghai to get rich at that time. Later, Huang Wuping retired, and the Huang family was the second child...... Oh, at that time, the Huang family was still in charge of Huang Wuping's generation, and we are used to calling him like this...... He also had smooth sailing in his career, but Huang Wuping also offended some people in office at that time, after he died in eight or nine years, Huang Bingxiang's promotion began to be a little uncomfortable, he was also very powerful, bumped and forcibly lasted for ten years, and was promoted to the position of secretary of the provincial party committee, in fact, he wanted to make his family better, but when he thought about it, he was too big for his family, and even let him take this family to stand up during the financial crisis, if he was given a few more years, Maybe the Huang family's economic system will really be stable, but it's a pity that these people are so ambitious, and things happen at such a sensitive time......"
While speaking, the old man shook his head slightly, Yahan smiled, she is not very familiar with the Huang family, and there is no direct business between the two families, so it is naturally difficult to express opinions on these things of the Huang family, so she only said: "Then Uncle Geng, what do you think about the future of the Huang family after this incident?" ”
The old man glanced at her with a smile: "Your Zhang family has always only done heavy work, and it has nothing to do with the Huang family's business, why do you have to set your sights on this side?" ”
"What's the matter, Uncle Geng, you know that I never take care of family affairs, I know that Uncle Geng, your vision has always been accurate, just care."
"Huang family......" The old man surnamed Geng was silent for a moment, "In the past, when Huang Bingxiang's relationship was escorted, these people were too scattered, as if they had to intervene in everything, but the foundation was unstable, after this incident, no one would let go of the market profits they vacated, everyone divided it, and it was okay if it was one-fifth of what could really survive, the internal Huang Group, in general, still had some foundations, we roughly estimated that the total assets of the Huang family, including all the relationship networks, The total value of the previous one was about 13 billion, and after this first batch of problems was dealt with, it would be good to leave 2 billion to 3 billion. ”
Yahan frowned slightly: "Big shrinkage ......"
"This is just an optimistic estimate, the Huang family really wants to keep the two billion to three billion, in the country is still a big enterprise, but this also has to the Huang family's decision-makers have a certain vision, will make trade-offs, at this time, they should have the determination of a strong man to break their wrists, no matter what messy development, only do their best food processing. Maybe they can still follow the original accumulation and make a way, if they are reluctant to give up anything, then in the next two years, it is not impossible for them to be directly divided and annexed. ”
"Looking at the actions of the decision-makers of the Huang family in the past few years, I am afraid the situation will not be too optimistic."
"Not optimistic." Geng Lao shook his head and agreed, "This kind of thing...... Seeing him rise up Zhu Lou. Seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse, alas...... By the way, it's two weeks. My second granddaughter is full moon, Yahan niece, have you received the invitation? ”
"Invitation...... Yahan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "I haven't sent it yet, but my father and mother have already said it." Xiao Jingping is full moon, that is a must go. ”
"Haha, look at my memory, Jianzhong hasn't sent out the invitation yet. But let's say okay, niece Yahan, you can't come here, there were also some young and promising young talents who came over that day. Uncle Geng will pick one for you. Otherwise, you can pick it yourself. I believe in your charm niece Yahan, that
No one can stop the kid. ”
"What about that? Uncle Geng. Yahan laughed, "Recently, you uncles and uncles said to introduce me to a boyfriend when they saw me, and I haven't become an old aunt who can't get married, right?" ”
"You'll be twenty-four after the New Year, and we people have watched you grow up, and you can get married later if you want to, but you have to find a boyfriend...... Gotcha, I won't urge you, anyway, when the time comes, you will pick it yourself, it's a good thing to have a high vision, anyway, the river and the sea are so big, I don't believe I can't find one who doesn't agree with you. Geng Lao smiled and waved his hand, "That, the head of Fang Zhitian Fang arrived in Jianghai today, and the drinking party held by the city government in the evening, Yahan, will you go over?" In the past, Cui Lao and I will wait for you to go together. ”
"Hmm...... Still no, I may have dinner at the Huang family in the evening and then go back. Yahan smiled, and both of them stopped.
"Eat at the Huang family?"
Geng Lao's brows frowned slightly, and immediately relaxed again, but the doubts in his heart still existed, if the Huang family was still in power, they came to worship at the funeral once, and then everyone had a meal and chatted for a day before leaving, it was normal, but this is just polite, but not necessary, especially in today's situation, Fang Zhitian is a giant across the economic and political worlds, even if Huang Bingxiang is still in office, everyone will not miss the evening party because of this funeral, now Huang Bingxiang has fallen, Zhang and Huang have never been cordial, This little niece would rather be here......
But the reason why she did this may be just because she still doesn't care about things at home, and when she thought about it, she was also relieved, and saw the somewhat decadent Huang Haoyun coming down from the upstairs not far away, and was staring at Yahandi's back at this time, so she also smiled: "Then I'll go to talk to Cui Lao now, I guess you young people are not interested in grinding with us old men, but if you still have time after eating, I think it's better to go to the cocktail party and take a turn, you are in the Sacred Heart Academy, It is also beneficial to get to know those people in Fang Zhitian. Alright, bye-bye-bye...... You don't have to come with me......"
"Where is it...... Uncle Geng goodbye...... "I wanted to take a few more steps with him, but when I saw Geng Laodi's gesture as if he was pointing, I turned around and saw Huang Haoyun, a man who had a little intersection with him five years ago.
Huang Jia's bribery case, Huang Haoyun's father Huang Bingxing has been arrested at this time, and Huang Haoyun is also involved, but he has barely been able to get out recently.
I remember that I just came back from Cambridge in the summer of 94, and I can be regarded as experiencing a blind date frenzy, Huang Haoyun is one of the suitors, but the two sides have not been blown up when the eight characters have not been skimmed, in the final analysis, at that time, that kind of gentleman, it is indeed not eye-catching with himself, but at this time, I think about it, it is also because of him, I came to this Huang family villa for the first time, and then met Jiaming, five years is not long, not short, at this time looking at the man in front of him, The gentleman who used to be high-spirited was already depressed at this time, although he was still wearing a noble and straight suit, but he exuded a gloomy atmosphere anyway, just like the whole Huang family mansion, and his heart was also a sigh.
"Hi, Huang Haoyun."
"Ah, hi, Yahan...... Uh, I saw it from behind, it seems like you ......" In fact, from the time they met, there was not much intersection between the two, Yahan was slim when he just came back from England, not only beautiful, but also full of unique charm, he felt that the two families were also a good match, and after the pursuit of the attempt, he felt unwilling because of his self-esteem, so he kept this figure in his heart. Five years have passed, he has achieved nothing, and even the family has begun to fall apart, but the woman in front of him has become more and more mature and confident, the perfect combination of beauty and intellectuality, with that elegant temperament, at this time it only makes him feel that the distance between the two sides is far away, and after a slight chaos, he found a topic that has nothing to do: "Uh, that's ...... Hengjian Group's Geng Lao, right? ”
"Yes, his second granddaughter was born not long ago, and he talked about the baby." Yahan smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked the sideburns beside his ear, although he had some sympathy for the man in front of him, he couldn't find any topic.
"Well, heh......" Huang Haoyun's eyes were a little dazed, Hengjian Group is a big enterprise, there was such a thing in the past, he must have known about it a long time ago, and he would participate in the full moon wine on the memo, but now, it is already a question whether he is qualified to go to such a banquet, after thinking about it, he had to say: "That...... You come to Jiaming. ”
"Hmm." Yahan nodded and laughed, but he didn't hide it, "I just came over, I met Geng Lao and talked for a while, but I haven't seen him yet, it's three o'clock now, won't you still take a nap...... I'll go to his room to find him, and I'll ......."
“…… Bow. ”
After a long time, Huang Haoyun realized that he should raise his hand, looking at the beautiful figure that was constantly moving away from his field of vision, and it was difficult to sort out the complex emotions in his heart.
*********
The following does not count as money.
Frankly, I haven't been able to update it in the past two days, mainly because I read two books, and halfway through, I can't stop, so I recommend it here.
The first book is "The Official Road of Rebirth", I'm afraid most people have already read it, I was a little disgusted by the book describing officialdom, but after reading it, I felt very cool, except for the more vulgar part of the bed scene copy "Norwegian Wood" made me a little disgusted...... Because I'm a faithful Murakami fan...... But basically it's all good, I want to recommend.
The second book is "Rewriting Life", I read it once before, and the first few chapters of the protagonist wanted to get rich and made me give up, this second time, I gritted my teeth and read a few chapters, only to be attracted by the atmosphere in the book. To be honest, when I was preparing to open the city, I conceived three styles, the first is at the beginning of the scrapped manuscript in the work, that is, the protagonist has a sister named Jian Suyan, this protagonist once struggled for life, was a hooligan, mixed with the underworld, was a killer, and finally whitewashed to do things for the country, the official at least the general, but no matter when, his body and mind fell into the dark quagmire, only when he was finally paralyzed, he could quietly recall the most important girl in his life, so after being reborn, He will carefully keep this happiness, only live for his sister, and strive to maintain the kindness that his sister expects, but his heart is extremely cold, such a person, unable to like any woman other than his sister, although it can YY,,,. I deviated from the original intention of writing a light-hearted story, so I was abandoned. The second style is naturally hidden, trying to entertain others while entertaining yourself, not caring about information, historical facts, and no bugs. Reproducing the life style I experienced in the nineties, the protagonist will not be too outrageous, not much perverted heart, he will be a normal person who is a little bit of wastewood, has mastered some resources for rebirth, describes some simple YY, and has a connection with the dark world, this is a style I am looking forward to, but the problem is that my sense of participation in the times is relatively weak, I have my own feelings, but for specific events, I basically forget, and in the end, of course, I can only give up. But when I read this book, it really made me feel the feeling I once wanted to express, an innocent, pure era, the author's portrayal is very simple, the kind of faint YY I like very much, if I write it, it must be so good. I think,If it's a friend who likes hidden killing,I should also like this book.,Sincerely recommend.。
