Chapter Forty-Nine: The Bottom
Cheng Zhichao shook his head blankly and looked at Zhao Jiyong again. Zhao Jiyong was also confused, and said strangely: "Uncle Jiang, you said that Cheng Zhichao's ideas are very dangerous, and he doesn't have any special ideas, what is there to be dangerous?" ”
Lao Jiang sighed, got up from his chair, and paced slowly: "It's because you don't feel that you have any special thoughts that it's dangerous." ”
"I don't understand."
"If you understand, it's not dangerous." Lao Jiang smiled slightly, sat back in the chair, and said unhurriedly: "Taking this matter as an example, Cheng Zhichao's starting point is good, that is, after graduation in the future, he doesn't want to get involved in Fang Yueyuan's group, so help Fang Yueyuan do something in advance and give him some benefits, maybe after graduation, Fang Yueyuan won't be too reluctant to let you join his group, isn't this the idea?" ”
"Well, that's what I mean, no matter what, I also grew up in our college, and all I hear and see all I hear and see is loyal to the motherland and the party. Fang Yueyuan asked me to join his group, which contradicted the education I had received since childhood. ”
"This is the biggest thing that you children who grew up in the army have in common, that is, you can be arrogant and lawless on weekdays, but when the country is in trouble, you will not be ambiguous in terms of loyalty. This is determined by the environment in which you grew up, and this thought is deeply implanted in your bones and will be with you for the rest of your life. In a certain way, this is a precious wealth of your life, but it is also a burden that you can never get rid of. ”
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to say, so they could only sit there and listen to his tirade quietly.
Lao Jiang pondered for a while, and then continued: "Because of this, if some alternative ideas in your hearts come out, they will be like a flood of beasts, out of control. After all, there is no perfect person in this world, everyone has a dark side in their hearts, you are just affected by the environment, forcibly suppressing the dark side of your heart, but this is also a poisonous weed, just by suppressing, it can't be suppressed. ”
"Uncle Jiang, you can make it clear, the more we talk about it, the more confused we become."
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to make it clear for a while." Taking this incident as an example, Cheng Zhichao only thought that he would not be involved in Fang Yueyuan's group in the future, but he ignored one point, and now his idea is to help Fang Yueyuan do things, and unconsciously, he has been involved. Because of your special role in this matter, if Fang Yueyuan really uses the topic to play, no matter what aspect you look at, you can't get rid of it. ”
Cheng Zhi was taken aback, and a thin layer of sweat faintly appeared on his forehead. His initial idea was very simple, that is, to help Fang Yueyuan a few small favors when he didn't graduate, so that Fang Yueyuan could get some benefits, but he didn't take this into account at all.
Lao Jiang's next words were like a hammer, hitting his heart heavily: "To put it nicely, it's that your current thoughts are a little crooked, and to put it ugly, you just care about yourself and don't look at the overall situation." For the sake of his own selfish interests, there is no distinction between right and wrong. If you go online, you will be leaving behind Chief of Staff Cheng's training and expectations for you for many years, and this qiē is just for a woman. ”
Cheng Zhichao sat on the chair dumbfounded, silent for a long time, not knowing how to refute Lao Jiang's words, and not knowing how to excuse himself.
Lao Jiang sighed again and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Fortunately, this matter is not too strict, although your role in this is special, it is not the most critical factor, so you don't have too much psychological pressure, just do your own thing." ”
"Uncle Jiang, what should I do in your opinion?"
"What else can I do? The fight has also been fought, and the people have come back, this matter will be put aside, you still go to your school, as for the coastal side, Fang Yueyuan can do whatever he wants, and it will not have anything to do with you, pay attention in the future, don't have any relationship with Fang Yueyuan. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Cheng Zhichao's heart was like lightning, he faintly felt that something was wrong, licked his lips, and asked cautiously: "Uncle Jiang, what do you mean, let me break off with Fang Xiaochen?" ”
"I didn't say that." Lao Jiang laughed like a fox, "It's still the same sentence, it's up to you to deal with it, you're not a child anymore, you can't handle such a trivial matter, then you really disappoint me." ”
Cheng Zhichao smiled bitterly: "Although I am not a child anymore, I found out today that my thoughts are still too simple, and I can't see through the essence of many things, so I have to help me get an idea." ”
Lao Jiang Bar clicked his mouth twice: "Actually, this idea is not too difficult to take, someone has already come up with an idea for you." ”
Cheng Zhichao was stunned again: "Did someone make an idea for me?" Who? ”
"Didn't you just say that there was a girl named Liu Xin? If what you say is all the truth, then this girl named Liu Xin is really good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is not stained by the sludge. She sees more than you and thinks longer than you, and compared to him, you are a little less popular. ”
As soon as Lao Jiang said this, Cheng Zhichao finally had a general impression in his mind, and what Liu Xin said involuntarily echoed in his ears: "Even if the two of you are selling vegetables on the street, you are much stronger than now, at least you can eat a bowl of peaceful rice." ”
Liu Xin's jade-like face floated in front of him again, and for some reason, Cheng Zhichao's heart suddenly had an inexplicable touch. The relationship between him and Liu Xin is sometimes not clear even to himself, in short, it is closer than ordinary friends, farther than Fang Xiaochen, and if you count it, you can't even count it as a confidant, you can only say that it is a confidant. But it was this blue-faced confidant who always silently helped him and reminded him. Maybe it's really for Fang Xiaochen's plan, or maybe this ice and snow smart girl, even she doesn't know what she's doing.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Cheng Zhichao didn't know how he walked out of Lao Jiang's office, he only knew that when he was in a daze, he was rejuvenated by the dazzling sunlight, but he still walked forward mechanically in despair, and he didn't even see the guards even greeting him from the sentry standing guard at the door. ,
Zhao Jiyong was afraid that something would happen to him, so he followed him closely and kept whispering comforting. Cheng Zhichao was in an extremely depressed mood at this time, and he didn't have a match, and even he didn't know what to say, and he returned to his home completely subconsciously.
The two soldiers at the door had been invited back to the guard company by Shan Weiqing, and after pushing the door open, I saw Shan Weiqing's eyes were red, and she was sitting on the sofa in the living room wiping her tears, Liang Yuying sat beside her, and kept whispering something.
After the two of them entered the house, Shan Weiqing just glanced up, twisted his head to the side, and continued to wipe his tears. Liang Yuying widened her eyes, pointed at Cheng Zhichao and said, "Chaochao, come over for a while, I'll talk to you." ”
Cheng Zhichao smiled bitterly: "Aunt Liang, you don't have to talk to me, I know my own affairs best in my heart, and no one can help me." ”
"I'm not going to talk to you about this, I'm going to talk to you about your attitude towards your mom this morning."
Cheng Zhichao had tears in his eyes, walked up to Shan Weiqing gently, half-knelt on the ground, grabbed Shan Weiqing's hand, and called in a low voice: "Mom! The following words could not be said any more, and the tears could not be held back any longer, and flowed down his cheeks.
The son who has been raised for more than 20 years, just said a few words, and he had such a big temper with himself, Shan Weiqing was extremely sad, but when he saw Cheng Zhichao like this, he panicked again, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled Cheng Zhichao to his side and sat down, and said hurriedly: "Chaochao, what's wrong with you?" How did you get out like this? If you have something to tell your mother, your mother will call the shots for you. ”
Cheng Zhichao couldn't stop crying, and asked aggrievedly: "Mom, I don't understand one thing, I and Fang Xiaochen are really wrong?" ”
"Silly boy, you're twenty years old, what's wrong with being a target? Besides, you are still young, and the road ahead is long, and that Fang Xiaochen may not be able to get closest to you, what's wrong. Originally, the two old ladies decided at home that after Cheng Zhichao and the two came back, they must clean up these two disrespectful stinky boys, but after Cheng Zhichao came back, he became like this, after all, it was the meat that fell from his body, compared with maternal love and anger, he still had the upper hand, and now it was Shan Weiqing's turn to persuade Cheng Zhichao.
Cheng Zhichao shook his head: "Fang Xiaochen is a good girl, there are too many things between me and her, you don't know at all, and it's not at all what you imagined, let me let go, I really can't bear it." But what should I do if I don't let go? ”
Liang Yuying listened to it like falling into a fog, and threw an inquiring look at Zhao Jiyong: "That girl's father, is it really an underworld?" ”
Zhao Jiyong smiled awkwardly: "It's not an underworld, it's an outright underworld, there are six relatively large forces in Binhai City, and Fang Xiaochen's father Fang Yueyuan is one of the more powerful ones." ”
"And how did the two of them meet?"
Zhao Jiyong shook his head: "I don't know, Cheng Zhichao told me that his girlfriend was Fang Xiaochen last night, I don't even know what happened." ”
Liang Yuying rubbed her hands: "What is this called, right?" Two children, one is from the military, the other is from the underworld, Chaochao, you tell us how you two met. ”
Cheng Zhichao knelt on Shan Weiqing's shoulder, and said without raising his head: "The process of getting to know is very simple, but the process of getting along is very complicated, I really can't say it." Mom, what do you think I should do? ”
Shan Weiqing also had no idea, rubbed his hands together with Liang Yuying, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I don't know what to do about this, wait for your father to come back in the evening, and then discuss it carefully." ”
"What if my dad doesn't agree?"
"What else can I do? In the evening, you confessed everything about the incident between you and that Fang Xiaochen to your father, and see what he thought. If it is really as you said, you are reluctant to leave her, and she is reluctant to leave you, you can only take one step at a time. You kid, you are becoming less and less worry-free, so good-looking, why did you have such a girlfriend? ”
After a pause, he suddenly seemed to remember something, lifted Cheng Zhichao's head, and asked, "Didn't you just say that you were going to your Uncle Jiang?" What did you say to him? ”
"I just told him about me and Fang Xiaochen, and I want to hear his opinion. But he didn't have any good opinions, he just told me that if he really couldn't let go, he would take Fang Xiaochen out of her father's circle. ”
Shan Weiqing said: "How can it be so simple, after all, people are father and daughter who have lived together for so many years, how can they take her out of her father's circle?" Could it be that after the two of you get married in the future, Fang Xiaochen will really cut off relations with her father? If that's the case, can Fang Yueyuan's side accept it? ”
The more I thought about it, the bigger my head became, and I turned my head and said to Liang Yuying with a wry smile: "I can't figure it out, there are hundreds of people in the hospital, big and small, big and small things combined, and they are very busy, I can manage it easily, why did my son have a girlfriend, and I didn't have any idea at all?" ”
Liang Yuying didn't speak, Cheng Zhao's two families have been friends for not a year or two, and she knows Cheng Zhichao as well as her son. Just knowing and understanding doesn't mean you can come up with the best of both worlds. If this happened to Zhao Jiyong, I'm afraid her reaction would not be much different from Shan Weiqing.
The four people in the room didn't know what to say for a while, and they were silent for a while before the deadlock was opened by Zhao Jiyong: "I don't think this matter is too difficult to do, maybe Uncle Cheng will open it very much after knowing the whole thing?" Anyway, Uncle Cheng didn't come back, so it's useless for a few of us to do a blind trick here. By the way, Mom, when Cheng Zhi and I went out of the door just now, I saw Brother Zheng Huaizhu, good guy, I haven't seen him for a year, I even bought a car, what is he doing now? ”
Liang Yuying knew that he was going to divert the topic, "um", and said: "The child in our courtyard, he may be the most promising now, don't look at his father who has not been promoted for more than ten years, but his son is really competitive." The two of you are the most discouraged, and while you go to school, you are also making trouble for adults. He counted a few words from his son, and he didn't mention what Zheng Huaizhu was doing now.
Zhao Jiyong didn't hear the answer he wanted, he was unwilling, and wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Shan Weiqing and Liang Yuying with their eyes at the same time.
This kid is also clever, and he finally knows to shut up and stop asking, but he feels strange in his heart, it seems that Shan Weiqing and Liang Yuying don't want to talk about what Zheng Huaizhu does, the reason is nothing more than one point, that is, Zheng Huaizhu's work has some taboos. But what is it that taboos can make these two old ladies like this?
