The azure Ferrari curved smoothly and came to a steady stop in front of the heavy, carved iron door.

"Second Young Master?" The servant in the house heard the noise and poked his head out.

Yan Ke recognized it from afar, this person was Mother Wu, who had served in the Yan family's mansion for many years, until the year when he fell out with the Yan family, he had seen her. However, in the past four years, the people in front of him have changed so much that they are almost unrecognizable.

"Second Young Master, you're back! The old man has been thinking about you, and said that it is possible for you to come back in the next few days, so that we can prepare your favorite meals. I didn't believe it at first! Come on in! "Although Wu's mother is old, she still looks like she is in a hurry, and she is extremely refreshing. While speaking, Mother Wu hurriedly opened the door for Yan Ke, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, but looking at Yan Ke's eyes, in addition to expectation, there was also a trace of awe.

There is no doubt that Yan Ke has changed greatly in recent years, and there was still a trace of greenness on his body, but now it is gone.

After four years, stepping into this familiar house in his memory, Yan Ke has a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world. The courtyard is still the same courtyard, and the people are still those people, but this is no longer the small courtyard full of sunshine and vitality in his memory, but an old mansion that even fills the air with the smell of decadence.

"Mother Wu, is the old man okay lately?" Yan Ke's voice was very steady, and he couldn't leak his deeply felt state of mind at all.

"Maybe winter is coming, the old man is not in good spirits, sometimes he reads in the room, looks at it and falls asleep, sleeps for an afternoon, sleeps at night, and can't sleep for a night. The eldest young master and the third young master are both far away in the capital, and they rarely come back once a year. Now that you're back, the old man will be very happy! Mother Wu led Yan Ke to the living room, and talked about Old Man Yan's recent life all the way, and those words made Yan Ke sound a little sour in his heart.

Mother Wu secretly glanced at Yan Ke, and seeing that he was still expressionless, she couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although she is just a servant of the Yan family, the second young man of the Yan family can be regarded as the one she grew up watching, and she looks unruly, but in fact, she can't be more affectionate. It's just that in the past few years, I'm afraid that the old man was heartbroken, and when he heard these words, he would be indifferent.

"Now the old man is reading in the study, do you want to go up and have a look?" Mother Wu asked Yan Ke cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would say something right, so she would anger Yan Ke away.

If you want to talk about the situation of the Yan family in the past few years, I am afraid that the most profound feeling is these housekeeping aunts who serve in the Yan family. The rise and fall of a family does not seem so abstract. Just by looking at the number of people who came to the door during the New Year and the gift list received, you can tell it. Since Yan Ke left, Yan Rui and Yan Jingmian did not agree with each other, and the huge Yan family was divided into three petals, and it was almost scattered.

Yan Ke waved his hand to signal that he didn't need Wu's mother to follow, and went upstairs by himself.

Four years have passed, the layout of the old house has not changed, Old Man Yan's study is at the end of the second floor, Yan Ke gently pushed open the somewhat heavy wooden door, and Old Man Yan lay quietly on the rocking chair by the window.

Old Man Yan is really very old, with white hair on his head, glowing with a dim light under the faint sun. He lay quietly in a rocking chair, a somewhat heavy book resting on his belly, and two rough hands pressed against the writing. Old Man Yan obviously didn't sleep very well, Yan Ke walked over carefully, wanting to cover the old man with a blanket, and as soon as he approached, Old Man Yan opened his eyes.

The moment they looked at each other, Yan Ke didn't know what Lu Dao should say at all. The estrangement between him and Old Man Yan is too deep, and now that they meet, there is more embarrassment than emotion. Yan Ke never allowed himself to be planted twice in the same pit, to put it nicely, this is called being good at summarizing life experience, to put it bluntly, it is a small heart.

Emotionally, he has always been a cautious person. For love, he asked Su Qin to have only one of him in his heart, as for other men, there should be no scum left, and he also has high requirements for family affection. After those years, Old Man Yan's trust in Yan Ke's heart has dropped to a negative number, even if he does not resent Old Man Yan in his heart, but the intimacy of six years ago will never come back.

"It's good to be back, I'm old too, and the time to see you is one less time to see you." Old Man Yan sat up and looked at Yan Ke's eyes a little cloudy.

Yan Ke stretched out his hand to help him, and then took the crutches on one side to Old Man Yan. He had never realized so deeply that Old Man Yan was already an old man, and Old Man Yan a few years ago, although he was old, was still full of energy. And now, it seems that that little bit of spirit has slowly dissipated, leaving only a shell full of old and sick people.

"Why, when you see me, you don't even want to call me?" Old Man Yan knocked on his crutches and glanced at Yan Ke.

"Grandpa."

With a grandfather's exit, the distance between the two seemed to have narrowed a lot, but it was just a seem.

Old Man Yan first asked Yan Ke about the news of Su Qin's pregnancy, and Yan Ke picked up some lighter content and replied to Old Man Yan, but he didn't say much. Now, he doesn't know how to communicate with Old Man Yan very well, and he doesn't have the mood of begging in front of Old Man Yan seven or eight years ago.

The grandparents and grandchildren talked for a long time, but in the end, the topic was still biased towards the main points of current affairs.

Old Man Yan's purpose is very clear, the Yan family is now lonely, and what he hopes for is undoubtedly to be able to improve the relationship with Yan Ke. Although the relationship between Yan Ke and Yan Rui is irreconcilable, the relationship between him and Yan Jing is not bad, and he also takes good care of Yan Yu.

However, Yan Ke's idea was completely different. Now, it's not seven or eight years ago. The Yan family needs him, but he doesn't necessarily have to want the Yan family.

"Grandpa, I'm no longer a child, the so-called candy is no longer attractive to me, I hope to get something more practical."

Time unconsciously came to November, Su Qin's belly was bigger, fortunately, the little guy in the belly was still relatively well-behaved, and he wouldn't toss her, but the taste became a little strange...... Su Qin especially likes to eat durian flavors during this time, Yan Ke came home from work one day and found that she had only eaten one meal all day, and when she ate most of the durian, she decisively decided to limit the supply of durian at home and only allowed her to eat a small plate every day.

Su Qin cherishes this small plate of durian that she can eat every day, after all, there is no more after eating. So every night sitting in the living room with a small plate watching TV, looking like she wanted to eat but was reluctant, Yan Ke wanted to lean over and hug her, but she was often smoked by the smell of durian.

Yan Ke: Who is this tossing?

According to Yan Ke's plan, in the first half of the month, he will deal with the remaining problems of the headquarters in City C, and then take Su Qin back to Hong Kong City to give birth. Su Qin thought that he would stay in Hong Kong City for nearly a year this time and would not come back, and he would no longer stay at home, and would often go out for a walk.

She travels widely in City C, however, there are always only a few who can be called friends. Because of this, she cherishes the relationship with Xuanning very much.

Xuanning's life during this period of time was still relatively moist, and Su Qin could feel it when she saw her. Xuanning has gained weight recently, wearing loose maternity clothes and stepping on flat shoes, which is similar to the previous image of white bones in the workplace.

Speaking of which, Su Qin also felt quite surprised, obviously the Xuan family was making a fuss like that, but Xuanning seemed to be completely unaffected, and he was extremely nourished. There were doubts in her heart, and Su Qin involuntarily brought it out.

Xuan Ning glared at Su Qin, and nodded on her forehead angrily: "Do you think everyone is as good as you!" When you get married, you are the master of your own house, and no one makes it difficult. Yan Ke still loves you so much, he wants the stars not to give the moon! I see, you're just going to be doing too well! ”

"Don't talk about me, your family is making such a fuss, aren't you going to press it?" Su Qin asked. Xuanning has too many people, there are six or seven brothers and sisters, and the number of wolves and the lack of meat are not enough to describe the fierce competition in the Xuan family. Xuan Ning was considered to have exhausted her strategy to get ten percent of the shares from the Xuan family, and after graduating from college, she and her eldest brother Xuanhe were in charge of the Xuan family, and they had great power in their hands. Later, he got his wish to marry Zhou Yuan, and with the support of the Zhou family, the natural path was to go wider and smoother.

It's just that now, Xuanning is pregnant, this is the first child of the Zhou family's life, so she naturally attaches great importance to it. Xuanning herself also hopes that the child can be safely landed, during the pregnancy, Xuan's bad things she has delegated to the lower levels, but she still participates in the regular meeting of the board of directors every month, and supports the decisions made by Xuanhe.

However, after all, people are not in the company, and their influence is naturally not as deep as when they are in the company. Xuan Ning was previously in charge of the company's personnel and served as the director of human resources. Now that she left her job while pregnant, it is natural that someone will replace her first. The rest of the Xuan family's unambitious children are all riveting their efforts to climb up. Now it sounds good to say that it is temporary, but Xuanning's pregnancy and confinement to milk the child will pass a year at least.

It's all the Xuan family, and if this position is secured, whether or not they can be let out is another matter entirely.

Su Qin knew that Xuanning had always regarded Xuan's shares as extremely important, and even after marrying Zhou Yuan, he never thought about returning to the family. Now, she is rarely calm.

"How to press? Do you want me to go to work in the company with a big belly? Xuan Ning sighed helplessly: "I used to be too tired, and this baby must be relaxed and taken care of." Zhou Yuan has wanted children for a long time, before me, first, I felt that Xuan's family was unstable and didn't want children, and second, he worked in Dongxing before, and I was afraid that he would eat outside. ”

"Didn't I find a professional manager right away? Chu Feng's wrist is still very good, and when it was handed over before, there was no mess in the company, which made me feel a lot more relieved. Su Qin breathed a sigh of relief, although this person was a little troublesome, but overall, it was worth it.

"Dongxing's affairs are out of hand, and Zhou's affairs are busy again. Don't say that there are many brothers and sisters in our family, his family is the same, three brothers, which one is the best match? Xuanning took a sip of watermelon juice and said to Su Qin: "If I hadn't let go, I would have died a long time ago, and I would have waited until today?" ”

"By the way, I heard that your Mr. Yan has been going back to Yan's house a lot recently, is that the case?"

"It's not very often, but I went there twice last week." Su Qin recalled.

"Is this Guan Yan and Shang Yan ready to break the mirror and reunite?"

"Presumably, I didn't ask him." Su Qin felt that if there was really hope for things to ease, Yan Ke would definitely tell her. After all, she still has the first member of the fourth generation of the Yan family in her belly. If he really breaks the ice with Old Man Yan, he will definitely take her back to Yan's house to see Old Man.

"The current situation of the Yan family really needs someone to preside over the overall situation." Xuanning has been staying in City C, and he feels more deeply about the decline of the Yan family in recent years than Su Qin. The Yan family is indeed not as good as it used to be.

Capital

"Arrow, how about you take a look at this picture? I've inquired about this girl, she has a high level of knowledge and a good personality, if you like it......"

Before Mu Wen's words fell, the photo was picked up by Yan Rui and gently thrown on the table, bringing a slight airflow, and the room instantly returned to tranquility.

"Mom, I don't want to get married yet." Yan Rui didn't know how many times he had talked about this topic with Mu Wen. Those so-called high-ranking and knowledgeable and gentle girls, he didn't even have the interest to look at them.

However, Mu Wen was really a little anxious. The son is thirty-two years old, and there is not even a woman by her side, she really regrets it now, she knew that today, it was better to let Lin Yueran or Li Yun enter the door directly. Even if it can't help his son, I'm afraid that now I even have my grandson in my arms.

"Son, aren't you...... Can't forget the young lady surnamed Lin? Mu Wen cautiously mentioned this topic. In the past few years, the absurd past in City C has been like a long and vague memory in Yan Rui's life, which is easily untouchable in life.

"Mom, no, I just want to focus on my work. When the position is higher, you can also marry a young lady with better conditions. Yan Rui glanced at the photos Mu Wen showed him, and sneered silently in his heart. These women are all well-educated and knowledgeable, however, with the Mu family's now completely dilapidated family background, what kind of girls can they come into contact with? I'm afraid it's just an empty shelf that looks good. What else do these women have besides a beautiful look? has nothing, I'm afraid that in the end, it will drag him down.

Hearing Yan Rui's words, Mu Wen was a little unhappy. Although she was not very happy, her son's situation in recent years has been quite unsmooth, and her tone of voice is still soft: "Work doesn't delay starting a family, don't people say that they start a family and start a family!" I think, wouldn't it be better to find a girl who matches the eight characters and be with you, so that you can take care of the length of the family, and you can also put all your energy into work? ”

Seeing that Yan Rui was silent for a while, Mu Wen continued to persuade: "Look at Gu Ran and Yan Ke, don't they all start a family first and then start a business." Besides, even Yan Jing's scourge is about to get married, and you, the eldest brother, can't fall behind him. ”

Yan Rui was tired of Mu Wen's rhetoric. Gu Ran got married, it was a strong combination of the General Staff and the Second Artillery, the Gu family was already small, and only by marrying Chu Yunchong of the Chu family could Gu Ran's position within the General Staff be stabilized! Yan Ke married Su Qin, Su Qin's maiden family could stand firm, and Su Ziyuan was able to link the Du family with the Fang family and promote Fang's electronic exports to generate income. Not to mention Yan Jing, although the Qin family's main strength is not in the army, after all, it is a high and powerful position, and if he thinks that his father-in-law is giving advice, he will naturally be prosperous.

And what does he have? Yan Dongye has now been squeezed to the margins, and his name is loud and good, but in fact, he still has some real power in hand, and he is completely inaccurate. What Yan Rui wants is to find a suitable Yue family, not to mention that he must be able to help him directly, at least he must have a certain economic strength to give him a future in officialdom.

However, the girl he likes doesn't have to choose him. Although his previous scandal in City C is rarely mentioned now, if you really want to investigate, it is not completely impossible to find out, after all, there are too many people who know. And the girls that Mu Wen provided him with who were interested in him, Yan Rui didn't like it. So, year after year, Yan Ke's children are about to be born, Yan Jing is going to get married, and he, who is the eldest brother, is very clean around him.

"Arrow, Mom naturally hopes that you can marry the girl you like, but sometimes, people still have to think about the future. These girls that my mother showed you are all generous and virtuous. After getting married and having children, you have a wife to do some family history for you, you have what you like, don't get it on the surface, everyone can get by. Where is the love and love more important than the future? Mu Wen was still persuading him, but seeing that Yan Rui was indifferent and ruthless, he had to tell him: "I heard from the people over there in City C that Yan Ke's kid has recently started to make do with your grandfather again." Arrow, you have to think clearly. Although there are not many things left in City C, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, do you really want to give the Yan family away? ”

"Impossible, there was so much trouble back then, with Yan Ke's stinky temper, it is absolutely impossible to break the ice with the Yan family." Yan Rui categorically refused to believe it.

However, Mu Wen's next words made Yan Rui's judgment less affirmative: "Ah Rui, you are still young, you must know that people will always change." Besides, Yan Ke was raised by the old man after all, and he will always miss some old feelings. Moreover, after all, the old man is old, and no one can say how long he will live. Su Qin is pregnant again now, if the old man is happy and leaves everything to his great-grandson, then there will be no place to cry. ”

"Mom, don't talk about it, I'll think about it myself." Yan Rui waved his hand irritably and sat on the sofa, looking a little tired.

In the past, those children who were similar to his family background are now in a high position, and only he is still hovering in such a position. Perhaps from the perspective of ordinary people, this is already a young man. However, in the circle in which he struggled to survive, he had fallen into inferiority.

"If the Lin family hadn't been defeated now, it would be a good ......"

Yan Rui didn't hear the latter words clearly. Over the years, he had learned that complaining and regret had no effect on the situation in front of him. Whether it is Lin Yueran or Su Yun, for him, it is already a distant and vague dream.

He has never been a man who loves love and affection, love for him is just a spice in life, but power is his life. If the Lin family had not fallen, it would have been a good choice for him now, but the Lin family had already been defeated, and he would never turn back.

He really should be married, a man in his thirties is not married yet, and in officialdom, it is easy to be seen as an outlier. However, he definitely did not want to marry a wife who had neither feelings nor interests for himself.

He had no choice but to give it a go and add political leverage to himself.

Yan Rui sighed and made an appointment to meet the Zhao family. The world is impermanent, and the Zhao family, who frustrated him in officialdom and love, has now become his partner. Time can even change such a hostile relationship, so what can't be done?

All the reserve and persistence are just mediocrity. If a person who is not too determined, he still has such a thing as backbone, it must be because he has not yet encountered a complete desperate situation, so he will stick to the so-called stupid persistence.

Yan Ke looked at the documents from Hong Kong City in his hand, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say that feeling. If you have to say it, you can only put it above intuition. He had an extraordinary, beastly instinct for financial risks. This kind of intuition, three or four years ago, pulled Fang Clan back from the brink of decision-making mistakes countless times.

He was recently competing for a real estate project in Hong Kong City under the name of Fang's, and the situation is now normal, and the development is going smoothly. But this kind of smoothness gave Yan Ke a bad feeling, like calm on the eve of the storm.

After being annoyed for a while, Yan Ke called Juhua and asked her about the real estate project. After all, Tang Hua was the one who took it over from Fang Ru, and he trusted Tang Hua very much, and he also delegated some of his rights to her. Therefore, although Na Tanghua and An An are both his secretaries, from the perspective of their terms of reference, the two are not of the same rank at all.

"Pick up the Port City Secretariat." Yan Ke broadcast the inside line of the president's office, and his voice was still cold.

"It's good, Yan Dong."

After Yan Ke finished making the call, he felt even more like a cloud mountain fog cover. According to Tachibana's description, there was nothing wrong with the real estate project in Port City. However, he just felt that something was wrong. He rarely has this kind of unfounded uneasiness, although the capital investment in this real estate project is very large, but after all these years, although the amount is huge, it does not necessarily make him nervous to the point of endocrine disorder, resulting in sensory hallucinations.

Yan Ke wanted to invest in a piece of forestry land this time, and he received accurate information that the place would be built into a new industrial zone in the next few years. And this so-called forestry land, as long as it can get a permit and be converted into an industrial area, naturally there is no limit to the future.

A large part of the reason why Yan Ke made up his mind to change hands on Xiangshan Casino was for the bidding of this project. To bid, you need to have enough capital. Once this land is in hand, the Fang clan will be able to make a lot of money in the next few years. And this money can be reinvested in market expansion and product development, so that Fang's electronic products can go further and enter the world.

At that time, Fang's will be a large multinational company that has been completely bleached. At that point, the restrictions on individual rights in the country are very limited.

The premise of everything is that the land can be successfully obtained in the bidding, and that the land is really a new development zone in the future. Because the source of the news came from the top, Yan Ke had not doubted the accuracy of the news before. However, between the so-called authority and his own intuition, Yan Kexin has more intuition.

Yan Ke thought about it for a while and decided to advance the time of taking Su Qin back to Hong Kong City by half a month.

When others are not in the port city, after all, the control of the port city is not as strong as when they are there, and the response is not so flexible. Yan Ke put down the documents in his hand, fell into deep thought, and began to recall all the past of this project from the beginning of its inception to the present.

Accidents always come inadvertently, and a shocking net is slowly approaching him......
