Chapter 1 Twenty Years Ago

Li Rui had been awake for a long time, and he stared at the ceiling with wide eyes. Heavy breathing, a violent heartbeat, and cold sweat on the back kept oozing.

It was a very old room, with the walls and ceiling painted in the same color. Although the mattress under him is also Simmons', it is hard, and you can faintly feel the springs that are lifted one by one.

Oh, my God! What's going on? A fear that he had never felt before took over his heart. Last night, in the suite of a five-star hotel, two hot girls, spirits, marijuana, and then crazy ml......

When I woke up, the hot girls with graceful bodies, the luxurious and luxurious rooms, and the fluffy big bed, everything was gone. I was in such a strange environment.

Finally, Li Rui groaned, let out a long breath, lifted the towel covering the big flower peony on his body, and struggled to sit up. The room is not big, steel windows and steel doors, and there is a small balcony outside. There was a desk by the window, and there were some miscellaneous items on it. Next to it was a bookcase, but there were no books in it, a few unopened bottles of Moutai Wuliangye and two half-drunk bottles of foreign wine rested on the upper floor, and the lower layer was a few Chinese and Sanwu put together haphazardly. On a long TV bench against the wall opposite the bed sat a small 21-inch TV set, which looked quite new.

Everything in front of him felt familiar to him, but it was very distant. Twenty years ago, my dormitory in the Pengcheng Zhengaxe Family Hospital seemed to be like this.

"Jingle Bell ......" a phone rang suddenly. Li Rui habitually reached out and touched it under the pillow, there was no mobile phone! Turning his head to look for the bell, there was an antique handbag on the bedside table, and the bell rang from the bag.

All the strange changes made his head dizzy, and he subconsciously took the handbag, opened the zipper, and touched it inside, a heavy big guy. When I took it out, it was another antique - Motorola 9900, which seems to be Motorola's first-generation flip phone, commonly known as Big Brother.

There is no caller ID, and the thin screen keeps beating red calls?

"Hey......" Li Rui looked at the big guy in his hand, and only opened the flip cover in a long time, and his voice was a little deformed.

"Xiao Rui, why did it take a long time to answer the phone? Haven't gotten up yet? I'm going to be late for work! How many times have I told you, work hard, don't always be a fool! You ......"

The voice of the chattering middle-aged man on the phone, Li Rui suddenly heard that it was his uncle's voice. It's been twenty years, it's been twenty years, Li Rui heard his uncle's voice again, and his eyes blurred all of a sudden.

In his more than 40 years of life, his mother, grandfather, and brother-in-law are the most important people in his mind, and they are also his closest relatives. But they all left themselves too early, and every time they could only meet them in dreams, they woke up with wet pillows.

"Hey! Rui, are you listening to me? Feed! Hey, hey! Rui, can you hear me? Are you there? Hey......" The uncle talked on the phone for a long time, but he didn't hear a response, so he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I'm here! I'm listening! Uncle, you said. Li Rui tried his best to control his floating excitement, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm his tone.

"Huh!" The uncle on the other end of the phone was stunned, his unruly nephew rarely spoke to him so politely, especially since he had just reprimanded him two days ago. It seems that this kid has shown repentance, and the uncle also slowed down and said: "Your little aunt has a holiday at school, so if there is nothing to do at night, she will come to the house for dinner." ”

"Oh! Okay, I'll come over. "I can actually see my uncle again, Li Rui was excited for a while, and hurriedly responded. He really wanted to talk to his uncle again, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"So be it." After a moment of silence, the uncle hung up the phone, followed by a burst of busy sounds.

Li Rui took the mobile phone and sat on the bed in a daze, and after a long while, he suddenly jumped up with a shudder.

"Crossing? Rebirth? I didn't expect this kind of nonsense that he had always thought was nonsense, and the bloody incident of the Internet writer's self-meaning silver actually happened to him.

Dusty memories flashed in Li Rui's mind like a slide. He came from the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Beijing, and from the reform and opening up to the beginning of the 21st century, the Zhang family has been one of the top ten political giants in Beijing. Zhang Bingwen, the old man of the Zhang family, has served as a national leader for a long time and is one of the important assistants to the chief designer to promote reform and opening up. The three sons and one daughter of the Zhang family held important positions in the central ministries and commissions, local governments and the army, and their protégés and former officials were all over the ministries and commissions and localities, and gradually formed a political force with the Zhang family as the core in the political arena, and it developed to its peak in the nineties and early twentieth centuries of the 20th century. Later, with the death of the old man, the boss of the Zhang family retreated to the second line, and the third child of the Zhang family, who was once known as a "political star", stepped down because he stood on the wrong team, and the Zhang family began to decline.

Li Rui is the son of Zhang Jianguo, the third elder of the Zhang family, his parents divorced in his early years, and Zhang Zhuorui, who lived with his mother, changed his name to Li Rui. When he was eight years old, his mother Li Wenjing died of illness, and the grandfather of the university professor had not been rehabilitated, and Li Rui, who had no one to take care of, was taken to the capital by the Zhang family.

Born on a farm, growing up on a farm, Li Rui, who has been wild since he was a child, looks out of place in the Zhang family's mansion. He gets along very poorly with his cousins and cousins who are about the same age, and he swings his fists at every turn, and other children in the compound are often beaten by him and their heads are bleeding. In three days, someone brought the child to complain, and even the old man came forward several times to apologize for his perverse and stubborn grandson. After a long time, Li Rui became a "bear child" who was isolated by his peers and disliked by adults.

After Zhang Jianguo remarried, Li Rui lived with his father. When Zhang Jianguo and Li Wenjing divorced and returned to Beijing, Li Rui was still young, and the relationship between father and son was indifferent. As for the young and beautiful stepmother, he has a natural hostility, and he is particularly resistant to the stepmother's cold and warm greetings. Once, he deliberately made it bad, and his stepmother, who had just become pregnant, almost had a miscarriage. And Zhang Jianguo's way of educating children is simple and rude, and several times it makes father and son see each other like enemies.

Soon after, he was rehabilitated by the foreign government who was sent to the Wuqi Cadre School, and returned to Pengcheng to re-serve as the dean of Pengcheng Institute of Technology. This old man, who never refused to say a word of lie or soft words, was very dissatisfied with his son-in-law who abandoned his wife and children back then, and was not afraid of his in-laws who were in a high position at that time, and personally went to Beijing to take Li Rui back to Pengcheng.

Under the supervision of his grandfather and the supervision of his uncle, Li Rui gradually returned to his surname, and his academic performance has also improved significantly. At the same time, it is inevitable to enter the Zhang family's sight again.

After graduating from university, the Zhang family arranged for Li Rui to stay in school and work in the school's Youth League Committee. Li Rui has no good impression of the Zhang family, and his rebellious psychology is serious, and his grandfather unfortunately passed away due to cerebral hemorrhage, Li Rui, who was in pain and confusion, began to indulge himself and was not dedicated to his work, not only often harassing female colleagues, but also engaging in teacher-student love, which was very shameful.

At a party, Li Rui not only molested his stepmother and nephew's female companion in public, but also smashed his stepmother and nephew on the head with an ashtray during the conflict. Zhang Jianguo, who was far away in Jiangdong Province, was furious, he can now take the leadership position at the vice provincial level, in addition to his own ability and the energy of the Zhang family, the help of the Qin family is also indispensable.

His current father-in-law, Old Man Qin, was the founding lieutenant general of the People's Republic of China, and he had a long leading position in the East China Theater and had a deep influence in East China, including Jiangdong Province. The eldest brother-in-law, Qin Yangfei, is also extremely outstanding, and a year ago he was directly promoted from the position of vice minister of water resources to the governor of Hedong Province, a major province in North China. It can be said that the current Qin family is not inferior to the Zhang family.

And Qin Mingliang, who was opened by Li Rui, is Qin Yangfei's son. Zhang Jianguo, who was already dissatisfied with what Li Rui had done after joining the work, completely broke out, picked up the phone and taught him a hard lesson, and ordered him to go to Qin's house to apologize.

For Zhang Jianguo, it was a critical period at that time, and if he could succeed in hitting the provincial level within two or three years, it was very likely that he would go further in the future. At this juncture, not only can he not offend the Xie family, but he also has to beware of his unsuccessful son from causing trouble to himself and even the Zhang family.

Li Rui heard the meaning of the unintentional revelation from Zhang Jianguo's lesson. Originally, he was hostile to the Qin family, and he deliberately teased Qin Mingliang's celebrity female companion in public, but then it was Qin Mingliang who made the first move. Zhang Jianguo scolded himself indiscriminately, and he had to go to the Qin family to apologize. In his opinion, it is not only a violation of his dignity, but also an insult to his deceased mother.

"I don't recognize my son, I don't recognize him as a father! He was afraid of offending the Qin family, and he was afraid that I would make trouble for him. Good! Tell him to put his heart at ease! The master will not be in the capital in the future! Li Rui's various dissatisfaction with Zhang Jianguo and the Zhang family all broke out, regardless of the persuasion of Zhang Zhuoyang, the lobby brother who came to comfort him, he put down a sentence, patted his ass and went back to Pengcheng directly that day.

It doesn't matter if he goes, not only did Zhang Jianguo be stunned, his blood pressure rose, and finally even the old man was alarmed. Before the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there were signs of the rise of the Youth League, and the Zhang family arranged him in the cradle of the Central Committee of the Youth League - the Yan Youth League Committee was not without the meaning of cultivation, although Li Rui's performance in the past two years was very unbearable, but it did not affect his promotion to two levels in two years, and the level has been promoted to the main department.

The old man usually doesn't ask too much about his grandchildren, Li Rui's incident this time, plus his popularity in the Zhang family is extremely poor, except for his sister-in-law, no one helps him speak, and someone with a heart turns out the bad things of the past two years, the old man is also angry, it's really muddy can't support the wall, waved his hand, and said: "Let him go!" It was doomed to let him fend for himself in the future.

In the end, it was my sister-in-law. Because the brother-in-law is a professor at Yan University, Li Rui has taken on the responsibility of taking care of him since he went to university. After getting along for a long time, my sister-in-law found that although her nephew seemed to be rebellious and perverse on the surface, he sometimes inadvertently revealed the loneliness when he was silent, which made people feel distressed. The sister-in-law not only helped Li Rui wipe her buttocks, but also specially asked her classmates from the Central Party School, Guo Wending, who served as the deputy mayor of Pengcheng City, to take care of one or two.

Guo Wending knew the identity of his sister-in-law, and he wished he could climb the big tree of the Zhang family. not only hung Li Rui's file directly on the municipal axe, but also arranged a corresponding position for him - deputy director of the Industrial Division of the Pengcheng City Planning Commission. Although it is a department, it is actually a section-level department. However, in such a large organ as the Planning Commission, the deputy directors of some important departments generally enjoy the treatment of the main section level, and Li Rui, the deputy director of the industrial department at the full section level, is also well deserved.

However, Li Rui stayed in Pengcheng for just one year. With the unfortunate death of his uncle, he soon resigned from public office, left this sad place, and went to Hong Kong to join his brother Zhang Zhuoyang, and after a few years to stand on his own. It is undeniable that the shade of the big tree of the Zhang family still allowed him to earn hundreds of millions of assets, but he never stepped into the door of the Zhang family again.

In the twenty years since he left Pengcheng, Li Rui has been single, and his private life is extremely chaotic, and even Zhang Zhuoyang can't look at it. Finally, last night's madness created today's ending.
