Chapter 52: Cheer up
The heavy sword has no edge, which does not mean that this sword has no edge after being unsheathed, on the contrary, it will be devastating and decaying, like a broken bamboo, Chen Chunlei did not give Chen Yuanshu time to breathe, his body leaned forward slightly, just a small amount is extremely oppressive, this is a very subtle hint, indicating that Chen Chunlei is taking advantage of the victory to pursue, in the past, many high-ranking officials who inspected the dialogue will involuntarily cringe, the old man stared at his daughter in a trance, and said: "Yuanshu, prevent the slightest, the spark can start a prairie fire." The relationship between men and women is delicate, Dad is not a pedantic old pedant, and he is also a person who has also had ups and downs when he was young, others can't see the relationship between you and Chen Fusheng, Dad has seen you for more than 30 years, will you not see it at all? Dad has been in the position of the head of the organization department for 6 years, and he doesn't dare to say that he looks at the skin and the bones, and the general human feelings must be thorough, I don't want you to bet all your life on an ambitious young man, which is not a big gamble. ”
"Dad, I really don't have a relationship with Fusheng." Chen Yuanshu said bitterly, hearing the words "big gamble", the grievances that had accumulated over the years came to his heart, his eyes were slightly red, and he bit his lip gently, like a stubborn child who made a mistake but refused to admit it. Gambling is always a heart disease for the Chen family, the uncle who regards Chen Yuanshu as his own daughter died of uncontrolled gambling, and her almost lifelong fiancé is also in a situation of no return because of it, regardless of the material level or the spiritual level, Chen Yuanshu hates this word, venture capital, the name itself is full of gambling implications, but Chen Yuanshu is stubborn to be a venture capital winner without a failure case, she wants to prove that a person does not need any surname gambling to succeed.
"Is it now, but what about the future?" Chen Chunlei said sadly, he is actually not afraid that his daughter will fall in love with a married man, as the old man said, he is not a stubborn defender, he has been young and frivolous, and has been absurd and uninhibited, if Chen Fusheng, who came to visit today, is not like Qian Zixiang when he was young, but he has more jade than Qian Lao Fox raised in the poor mountains and bad waters, he can turn a blind eye, his daughter is not young, but she has only been in love once and has been injured to the point that she has not healed half of it. Chen Chunlei would rather be superficial and perfunctory in her love and marriage, and find someone who loves her more than her, Chen Chunlei definitely doesn't want the man in her woman's picture to be a time bomb that may bury her life at any time.
Involved in the dark, crawling in the darkest areas of the dye vat, how many people can be glorious to the end? How many happy women are there behind them?
Chen Chunlei is not positive about this.
"Even if there is a future, it will be in the future." Chen Yuanshu said gloomily, "Eating will choke people to death, but I can't stop eating because I'm afraid of choking to death." ”
"Today is your special day, but Dad made you unhappy, I'm sorry." Chen Chunlei was full of regret and guilt, and his face became more and more wrinkled.
Chen Yuanshu shook his head, squeezed out a smile and said, "Dad, don't say that, I'll really cry if you say it again." ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Chen Chunlei picked up the glass again, took a sip of warm boiled water, stabilized his mood, and blamed himself for being in a hurry, and laughed softly: "Why don't we two go to the next game and learn from each other?" ”
"Taking advantage of people's danger and not taking you with such insidiousness is not like the style of the principal of a party school." Chen Yuanshu burst into tears and said with a smile.
"At home, I am your father, not the head of the organization department, the principal of the party school, by the way, the vice president, the difference between the words is of great significance in Chinese officialdom and cannot be missed." Chen Chunlei smiled and said, "I heard that Pan Yang's child returned to China not long ago and stayed in our Nanjing, don't waste time with me at night with a bad old man, call your friends to drink together or something, young people should have the vitality of young people, twilight is not good, that is the patent of our old guys." ”
"Wait a minute, go out to breathe, and don't bother our executive vice president to study topics related to the national economy and people's livelihood." Chen Yuanshu nodded and quipped.
Chen Chunlei shook his head and chuckled, helpless against his daughter's ridicule, I am afraid that only she can gag with him unscrupulously, the old man cherishes this very much.
He returned to the study alone, just turned on the lamp on the desk, opened the drawer, it was a photo album, there was a photo of Chen Chunlei's military uniform when he was young, he was still wearing liberation shoes at that time, he remembered that his biggest wish at that time was to have a bicycle and a watch, and there was also a small family photo of Chen Dongchuan and his daughter-in-law Du Hongmei holding twin daughters, Chen Chunlei looked at his daughter-in-law who looked very cold, and felt a little guilty about his eldest son Dongchuan, because this marriage was the result of the efforts of the parents of both sides. Du Hongmei's father is the same as him is the proud protégé of the old secretary of the old boss Cheng, unlike Chen Chunlei, Du Xingbang followed the old superior into the Ministry of Railways, and the old superior retired after Du Xingbang was on top, although the layout was disrupted by the above, but it did not prevent Du Xingbang from having a huge room for growth. Chen Chunlei turned over page by page, the most is the youngest son Chen Yatao, the least is the wife, Yatao is very good at getting into trouble, but he is desperate to take care of the family, and he has a sense of family honor more than Dongchuan in his bones, but it is a pity that he will not succeed, otherwise Chen Chunlei will have no regrets, his wife is a person who doesn't like to take pictures, leaving only a yellowed wedding photo, for this taciturn woman, Chen Chunlei has never said the word love in his life, but if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have it in his heart, and when she died, she still thought that she was uneducated and dragged down her husband. She left too suddenly, Chen Chunlei has too many things to say and can't say, now he is alone guarding a house, but not lonely, Chen Chunlei is not greedy for life and not afraid of death, now the biggest wish is to be able to protect his daughter Chen Yuanshu for his wife, watching her marry and have children to live a good life, turn to the last page, is a photo of Chen Yuanshu riding on the neck of his father Chen Chunlei when he was a child, in winter, she is wearing a big red cotton jacket and a big red scarf, and her little face is flushed, Only this child can endure spending most of the day with him since he was a child without saying a word.
There is also a photo on this page, which is a young man who can be described as Yushu Linfeng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sharp and pressing, and Chen Fusheng, a young man who was brought into the house by Chen Yuanshu today, he has also entered the Chen family shy and proud, this is an interesting child who is not as good as Chen Fusheng's sleek and old way but has a pure heart, he also likes chess, quite the style of the ancients, Chen Chunlei has always believed that the Dacheng realm of chess is after a fierce battle, did not make mistakes, all are in line with chess, and finally made a peace. And this child named Peng Shaochun, he can always rely on the occasional spirit of the disadvantage to turn the defeat into a draw, Chen Chunlei personally, does not care about Peng Shaochun's rural background, nor does he care about his poor background, the old man has always thought that a mature society needs to be replenished with fresh blood at all times, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, which is in line with the trend of historical progress, so even if a friend who is proficient in numerology says that this Peng Shaochun is not conducive to his political future, Chen Chunlei does not care, but he did not expect a good seedling to be so fragile, Peng Shaochun, who has strong self-esteem, because of his family relationship, and refused to bow his head slightly to explain the situation to Yuanshu, was designed to fall into a trap and never got up again, there is a kind of person like the overlord of Western Chu, who categorically refused to cross the Wujiang River, so there is no comeback in their world, and Chen Chunlei couldn't save it back then.
Chen Chunlei didn't want to put another photo of Chen Fusheng in the album for him to remember the white-haired man and the black-haired man.
Taking off his glasses, leaning on a chair made of ordinary material, closing his eyes and recuperating, the old man muttered: "Qian Zixiang, don't expect Chen Fusheng and Chen Yuanshu to be the winners and losers between you and me." I've been playing a draw with you for more than 20 years, and I don't want to fall short. ”
Chen Fusheng went out of the mountains to Shanghai and Nanjing to fight for only two years, naturally he couldn't figure out Chen Chunlei's solemn thoughts hidden behind the ordinary face, even if he knew what the old man thought, he did not regret what he did in the Chen family, he was born in a humble rural single-parent family, grew up in the barren black soil, thrived in the Changbai Mountains, and developed the paranoia that he did not regret doing wrong things early. He was supposed to rush to the Jiangsu Shiyiyuan Hotel to have coffee with a few hotel industry elites on the bridge with Crown Prince Shi Qingfeng to contact the relationship, because Wu Liang's plan mentioned the construction of an economic hotel, Chen Fusheng was very concerned about this, so he wanted to find out in advance, before he determined whether Wu Liang's team was really strong, Chen Fusheng was not lazy enough to be a shopkeeper. Just walked in Chen's house, he was a little tired after running and sprinting for a long time, and called the crown prince to cancel the meeting, although a little offended, Chen Fusheng still didn't plan to explain anything to the unexpected crown prince, hung up the phone and listened to the song in the Audi A4, Peking Opera, "Drumming and Scolding Cao", maybe it was an illusion, he always felt that the singing of these Peking Opera people was far less desolate than the old guy after drinking, and there was no charm that made people feel fascinated, but it was better than nothing, and Huang Danqing happened to like this song, Chen Fusheng was happy to listen over and over again.
Chen Fusheng closed his eyes and followed the melody, tapping the beat on his knee with his right hand.
Chen Yuanshu told him a joke about Pan Yang, once Pan Yang had dinner with the boss's boss, the topic involved a British drama, and the two men started one of the classic dialogues in pure British English word for word, the Vale patriarch loved the drama very much, but Pan Yang didn't like it, he just planned this "accident" in a premeditated way, and after Pan Yang succeeded, he talked about it lightly with Chen Yuanshuyun, just as a successful case to talk about, Chen Fusheng can fully imagine the difficult scene of reciting a boring drama ten, hundred, or even a thousand times before he succeeded.
There is no shortage of people with bright brains in this society, but there is a shortage of smart people who persistently do stupid things.
Chen Fusheng thinks that he is not wise enough, and only the stupid bird flies first.
Wei Duangong, who committed suicide by swallowing a gun, Xia He and Guo Xuanlu, who died under his knife, plus Pan Yang, who came into contact not long ago, are all the same as him, they were born in poverty and started from scratch, pushing up, Old Man Qian and Chen Chunlei are also from ordinary backgrounds, no matter what the outcome is, it shows that this really cold society does not reject the rise of the poor, it only rejects cowards in action. Chen Fusheng thought of this, his spirit perked up, he suddenly opened his eyes, and spit out a breath of turbidity, even if he couldn't gnaw on the hard bone of Chen Chunlei, observing the situation of the Chen family, it seems that Zhou Kangsheng of the Department of Justice is a breakthrough worth paying attention to, Chen Dongchuan's wife Du Hongmei's second, Chen Fusheng can't think of squeezing any oil and water from Zhou Kangsheng, as long as Du Hongmei's discordant role is straightened, the Chen family will be much more harmonious, and it can be regarded as a little heart for his godsister Chen Yuanshu, Chen Yuanshu disdains to please vulgar women, Chen Fusheng doesn't mind, He took out a pen and a blank piece of paper, and wrote down the keywords of "Zhou Kangsheng - career career" and "Du Hongmei - money", and finally added "twins", Chen Fusheng called the crown prince who was nominally the shopkeeper of Shi Qingfeng's private club, and said: "Help me make two membership cards for the club, one for Zhou Kangsheng, and one for Du Hongmei, you can help me contact your friend who runs a private detective agency, Check the background and preferences of all the members of Chen Yuanshu's family, and don't miss the old and the young. ”
Chen Fusheng finally added: "Tell him not to check Chen Yuanshu." ”
Without warning, the rain was pouring down, and the water poured down and smashed against the glass windows.
Chen Fusheng subconsciously glanced at his watch, 7:10 p.m.
At this time, two cars rushed out of Zhongshan Gate into the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou Expressway, all the way wild, a Maserati, an Audi R8, the taillights left a string of dazzling shadows in the heavy rain, two cars in the heavy rain like two swimming fish you chase me, at most the interval is only seven or eight meters, a car is far behind them, occasionally a few good cars are also aroused, but embarrassed and frustrated to find that in the rainstorm want to catch up with their figures is really fantastic, These people who are not often fighting with others suddenly found themselves with a huge gap with their opponents, and it is not too difficult to step on the accelerator to 200 yards in this weather, but if you want to keep this speed in the middle of all kinds of large trucks, without stagnation, no capital and guts, don't play this kind of dangerous game that will be invited by Lord Yama to rub mahjong if you are not careful.
R8 has been following the arrogant Maserati, never surpassed, this is not to say that the car is cheap and has no momentum, think Chen Fusheng used a Passat to carry Jiang Zifang to beat Pei Rongrong's Porsche, the surname of the car can be very important, but not the first, drag racing is often not an empty straight road to compete for 100 meters of acceleration or maximum speed, so drag racing has the habit of running on mountain roads, and playing crazy in the urban area is just a handful of evil things that do not have the talents of the second generation of officials and the second generation of the rich in the 80s and 90s.
The roar of the Maserati exhaust pipe is so harsh that you can even imagine the tyres rubbing against the road. A sports car should have the speed of a sports car, otherwise it will be pale and hollow.
At 9 o'clock, Maserati, which had arrived in Shanghai, began to return to Nanjing.
R8 drove directly into downtown Shanghai, parked at the door of the Four Seasons Hotel on Weihai Road in Puxi, the female owner entered the hotel under the leadership of the private butler with a bright smile, she looked indifferent and arrogant, because of the drive, she did not wear high heels, but this did not prevent her from becoming the queen of the Shanghai Peacock Girl, she walked through the hall like a noble Persian cat, causing countless amazing and coveted eyes.
She rented a central suite at this top hotel in Shanghai at the beginning of the year, and she didn't mind whether she was regarded as an upstart by the common people who hated the rich or slandered by the little white-collar workers, a woman who had been told by her father since she was a child that she wanted to live for herself, and that the eyes and gazes of others, praise and slander, should be ignored.
"Miss Pei, your father asked us to help you prepare a special supper." The mild-mannered middle-aged butler asked with a smile.
The woman nodded, and when the butler opened the door, she said lukewarmly, "I'll call you if there's something." ”
The personal butler left respectfully without the slightest complaint.
She took off her socks and shoes, stood at the window, her father said, Shanghai is better than Yanjing, because Shanghai can overlook the whole city if you have money, she also likes to condescend to watch people and things, this pride is the innate Pei family gene, there is a cage of crab roe on the dining table, this may be the only thing in the luxurious central suite that is not luxurious, and it is what Pei Rongrong has eaten for more than 20 years, that is, the special supper in the housekeeper's mouth, she took out her mobile phone, dialed a number that few people can be qualified to know, and said softly: "Dad." I've had enough of playing and I've found my goal. Tomorrow I'm going to join the board of directors and take over in three years. ”
