Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Word Is Settled
This trip to Cheongsam City was unexpected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu Bai is still alone, because the matter is urgent, there is no time to say goodbye, just hurriedly say goodbye to his mother, and explain the reason to Zhao Xueman.
On the phone, I have already discussed with Pu Lizi, and I will answer for Yu Bai tonight. It's not that Yu Bai asked him to do this, but when Pu Lizi heard about it, he brought it up himself, and in a Yu Bai is indeed not familiar with the life of Changsam City, it would be much better to have an acquaintance.
It was still the familiar station, but there was no trace of Brother Wang, Yu Bai did not procrastinate, and he didn't have time to sigh the vicissitudes of the world, so he called a taxi and rushed to the place where the two met for the first time that night.
"Shonan family cuisine" is the name of this restaurant, the last time I patronized to listen to Brother Wang's introduction, and the surprise in my heart, I didn't even notice the name of the restaurant.
At the door, he saw Pu Lizi, but unexpectedly, Mr. Fan was also there.
It's still the same restaurant, it's still this place...... But today is far less emotional than last time.
During the banquet, the three of them didn't mean to order, and in the end, it was Mr. Fan who urged him to order a few dishes.
Yu Bai did not procrastinate, but said his intention straight to the point.
"Mr. Fan, you are also considered an old-timer in Changsam City, I didn't come here today to be surprised, just to come to see Brother Wang, and by the way, see if I can do something for him." Yu Bai is not a stunned young man, there are things to do, and there are things to do. When he came over this time, it wasn't that he had to avenge Wang Tansheng's grievances, but he just wanted to do what he could.
However, Fan Youwei waved his hand, "No, but everything has its rules and regulations, and detainees are not allowed to meet with anyone until the court trial is over." ”
"Brother Wang has been locked up?"
"Exactly, even I can't see him." Fan Youwei said, and sighed, "Lao Wang is completely disheartened this time, it was originally the last fight, but he didn't think about it, he fought it, but it was planted in his own hands, and now it's okay, people go to the empty building, and the trees fall and the monkeys scatter." ”
“……”
Because of these words, the banquet was silent again.
Yu Bai also thought about it, I'm afraid that this time Brother Wang was really hit hard, and he was desperate and hopeful, but in the end, he ended up like this, and no one could bear it.
But even so, Yu Bai always seemed to be holding back a nameless fire in his heart, which made him uncomfortable.
The food eaten at the meal was tasteless, and the three of them were left alone, it was originally a time to discuss countermeasures, but in Fan Youwei's opinion, Yu Bai was not qualified enough, and again, Wang Tansheng at this moment was indeed no one to save him.
The accommodation is a random hotel, lying on the bed Yu Bai thought carefully.
Mr. Fan said that the court day will be in two days, and there should be a chance to meet Brother Wang later, and everything can be said until then, and it can also be done at that time.
After coming to Changsam City, Yu Bai learned what kind of sensation Wang Tansheng's case caused in the local area.
Of course, this sensation is not like a celebrity scandal, which is paved and covered, but spreads in an amazing way in the circle.
And some of these were seen by Yu Bai himself, and some were told to him by Pu Lizi.
In the past two days of waiting, Pu Lizi has been accompanying Yu Bai, and the purpose is probably that Yu Bai has done something bad, and he has come to relieve Yu Bai's boredom.
Speaking of which, the two of them hit it off at first sight, so naturally they have endless words, but whenever the topic involves Wang Tansheng, the next thing is a lot of silence.
Two days of waiting and interval, came in a trance.
Mr. Fan Lao, Yu Bai's follower, attended the trial, and this was the first time in his two lives that he went to such a place as a court, and this feeling was completely different from on TV.
The moment you go to the courthouse and enter the courtroom, the solemnity of this place surrounds you all, and all you can do is watch and listen.
More than half of the people attending the hearing were seated, including Wang Tansheng's family, friends in the circle, and reporters and media.
Since Wang Tansheng has already pleaded guilty, and all the blame is on himself, Goldman Sachs, who is obviously at fault, has become an inconsequential supporting role. It is precisely for this reason that this trial is more like an execution ground waiting for the results to be announced. Even if the final result of this execution field is not a summary execution, it is still sad.
The judge above kept talking and listening, and at the same time asked Wang Tansheng all kinds of questions, Yu Bai didn't seem to hear this, he could only look at the haggard and abnormal Wang Tansheng from a distance, and stood with his head down lifelessly, except for the necessary answers, there was no superfluous words at all.
When it was time for the adjournment to be resolved, Yu Bai left, and did not wait with the others for the result that had already been concluded.
Standing outside and feeling the scorching sun, the stuffiness in Yu Bai's chest was still holding the fire.
Not long after, Yu Bai seemed to hear the verdict in a trance.
"Changsam City No. 1 High People's Court, first-instance judgment, defendant Wang Tansheng...... He confessed to the bad impact caused by the publication of his obscene book "Memoirs of the Northern Autumn", and the verdict is as follows...... Defendant Wang Tansheng was sentenced to one year and six months in prison and taken into custody by the Changshan City No. 2 Detention Center, and the verdict took effect immediately. ”
Three days later, the verdict was handed down, and it seemed that Wang Tansheng's matter had also settled, and the media and people in the circle seemed to have lost interest in this matter, because no one would guess or talk about a matter that was a foregone conclusion. Today, Yu Bai and Mr. Fan will go to the No. 2 Detention Center of Changsam City to meet with Wang Tansheng.
At first, Yu Bai was looking forward to this day, but from the moment he saw him in the court that day, after the verdict was handed down, Yu Bai was not so eager for this matter.
Because when he was in the court at that time, after just a few glances, Yu Bai understood that even if the two met at the time of the fall, it would be impossible for him to explain this heavy heart and gray face to Brother Wang in a few words, let alone get rid of his heart disease.
But everything has to be done, and the results are left aside for the time being, maybe there will be a turnaround.
Putting aside the cumbersome procedures of the meeting for the time being, it is only said that the place of meeting is not in the imaginary soundproof room, but a house, after the three of them came in, they could see Wang Tansheng sitting on a chair and handcuffed looking at the two people who came in with a smile. 、
"Here, I won't give you a seat, just sit down."
Far more than not speaking, Mr. Fan sighed lightly, and then sat down opposite him. Most of the chats between the two are practical issues, such as family arrangements, good conditions inside, emotions and other issues.
Due to the limited time for the visit, Mr. Fan also made a long story short and let Yu Bai go, probably because he was depressed and walked out when he saw his old friend in such a situation.
There were only two people left in the whole room.
Wang Tansheng still had that smile, as if the two were not in the detention center, but in a restaurant outside.
"Did you bring a cigarette?"
"Brought it."
Yu Bai immediately took out a cigarette and was about to hand it over, but halfway through it, he found that he couldn't light it at all, so he smiled and lit the two cigarettes by himself.
Yu Bai smiled, and he laughed too, just like that, the two old and young people with cigarettes laughed through the smoke.
"Brother Wang, I can do something for you."
"No, it's not a big sin for me, I'll go out in a few days."
Yu Bai frowned, because this was not at all the emotion and reaction that a framed person should have.
"I mean, I can do something for you, like Cao Qianchen, I know he did this, and I have the ability to make him do something."
"Competent? Do you think my brother is not miserable enough to come in and accompany me? Save your worries, brother, the world is unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable, people can't patronize and be angry with others for most of their lives, and they must think more about their families. ”、
“……”
Yu Bai was speechless for a while, because this kind of thing could not be refuted at all.
However, the more Wang Tansheng is like this, the more he can prove one thing, that is, he was really a little scared by Cao Qianchen this time.
Thinking of this, Yu Bai hurriedly said what was on his mind, "Then I want to know, when you come out, what are your plans to do publishing?" ”
This was a cautious question, but Wang Tansheng did not hesitate at all, and without even a little care, he shook his head and said his plan.
"No, it is said that three hundred and sixty lines are the champions, I can't get mixed up in this line, and I can do other things, you don't worry about me, your heart, my brother will understand it."
Yu Bai refused, and said in an unusually firm tone, "I will wait for you, wait for you to come out, and then I will have enough capital to fight the so-called Cao Qianchen, that is, your old opponent." And, by that time I'll start a company, and you'll be my CEO. ”
Yu Bai thought about these words over and over again in the past two days, thinking about how to say it better, how to say it more to make Wang Tansheng's heart move, but at this moment, there was no embellishment that should be there, and there was no foreshadowing that should be there, so he said it so dryly.
Then he saw Wang Tansheng looking at himself in some surprise, Yu Bai spread his hands, "Don't be surprised, in fact, if it weren't for you, brother, I don't think I would have been able to make up my mind, people should always do something in their lives." Not for yourself, but for others. Of course, in the final analysis, opening a company to make money must be profitable, and it is not clear in this matter. It's just that what I want to tell my brother about you is, you may know about me, but you will never know too much. Just as I just said, opening a company that is no less than Cao Qianchen, and the prospect is unique. ”
"How much does that cost?" Wang Tansheng let out a sigh.
"I have investigated, Hunan Qianchen Publishing House, the total capital is only a few million, even if you add the Zhongnan Publishing and Media Group behind him, it is only tens of millions. And this money, when you come out, I believe, I can earn enough. ”
All said a word to wake up the person in the dream, but what Yu Bai said now, whether he woke up Wang Tansheng or not, this is unknown, but one thing is certain, that is, the behavior of this rice idiot talking about dreams made Wang Tansheng laugh.
"Brother, there are not many people I admire in my life, you are one today. Brother has seen bragging, and I've never seen you brag like this. Well, if you wait for me to go out, you really have so much money, then my brother will definitely accompany you. But say it in advance, if you don't have this family background, you must not bother me at that time. ”
"It's a deal."
This was the last exchange between the two, and although the jokes were too meaningful, Yu Bai took it more seriously than anyone else.
One year and six months...... Tens of millions of ...... Is it hard?
It's difficult, at least for Yu Bai in his previous life, this is an astronomical amount, and for him now, it is an unattainable amount, but he also understands that what he has in his head may really be able to create so much value.
Yu Bai, who left the detention center, actually had one more thing that he hadn't explained to Wang Tansheng, although at present, he couldn't shake the so-called President Cao, but with Yu Bai's current ability, status and influence, if he really made any moves, it seemed that the other party would not say that he was indifferent.
At the very least, it is far better than thinking that he, a mosquito, can gnaw off a piece of the tiger's flesh.
Thinking of this, Yu Bai laughed again, and the smile was very meaningful.
