Second, Xiangnan returned from studying abroad

The Buddha said that the fate of the world is innate, and it is also cause and effect.

In a multi-storey residential area in the center of the city, the green tiles are continuous, the ancient trees are lush, and a five-storey residential house facing the street is spacious like a luxury basketball court, and the private oversized terrace can enjoy a panoramic view of the changing seasons and the fog flying in the mist. The living room is too big to say, because the owner likes to be quiet, there is not much decoration in it, sofas, TVs, small bars, leafy walls, and there is loneliness in the open.

This is a gift that Grandpa Xiang left to his grandson when he was alive.

At that time, Grandpa Xiang's father was a well-known protector of the country, with a high position and a power tilt towards the government and the opposition. In Grandpa Xiang's generation, because he loved freedom by nature and was loyal and honest, he was not suitable for politics, so after the Great Revolution Qing family, he began to learn to start a business. The prototype of the current Qiushi Group was founded and planned by him at that time.

Now that the policy is good, since the government has restored the reputation of the Xiangjia, the Xiangjia, as a typical example of private enterprises, has been repeatedly received and praised by important leaders of the country. He also became a guest of honor of the mayor of Pingyang City, and his prestige was extremely high.

As for Xiangnan, who returned from overseas, the mayor also invited him sincerely and intentionally on several occasions to make him the head of the Municipal Foreign Economic Office. Xiangnan's ability and courage are obvious to all, and by recruiting him into his command, I believe that Pingyang's economy will be strengthened like a tiger and will soon soar to the sky.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan had no intention of joining the gang at all.

Politics, no interest.

In business, there is no interest.

His most important hobbies at the moment are:

Duplex, the lower layer is all used for living, the upper layer is decorated in the original black, white and gray style, full of all kinds of ancient cultural relics, there are Theban murals, Ramses mummies, Mesopotamian pottery, as well as ancient Greek bronzes, Russian crowns, Chinese slips (modern archaeological excavations of the Wei and Jin Dynasty slips), Shang Dynasty Yuge, "Diamond Sutra", the world's most exquisite bronze Siyang Fangzun, etc., colorful and miscellaneous. Although most of them are fakes imitated by later generations, the people who own them are also a minority, and they are the best of the best.

The morning sun is transparent and peaceful, and the interior shows a strange and mysterious sense of mystery because of the reflection of sunlight and the antiquity of the utensils.

Although Xiang Nan is only twenty-one or two years old when he grows up, his young face has been influenced by experience, and he has the maturity and fortitude of a man that his peers do not have.

Tall, sunny, handsome, all the beautiful words are not an exaggeration to use on him.

At this time, he was in high spirits explaining to his mother the treasures he had worked hard to get from abroad over the years.

"Mom, look, this is the baby I picked up in the Sahara Desert, knock knock, change!" Xiang Nam pulled out a gray thing that emitted a strange smell from behind his back like a trick.

"Ahh Meiru was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "This ...... What, what is this? ”

"It's the skull of a camel, Mom, don't be afraid, it's a life. You see here are the eyes, although the bones are not very complete, at least they can be distinguished, right, this is the mouth, this little shrugged nose, although there are only two small black holes left, one large and one small, you can also judge that he was a very strong and strong male ...... when he was alive."

"Oh, good son, take it, take it, take it away. Mom, don't see such a horrible thing. ”

"Oh, what about this, Mom, Greek god statue."

"Don't look at this, dead man's thing." Meiru frowned, and then picked up a string of fifty-four rosaries from the wooden frame with great interest, and said with a smile: "But this looks good, Mom likes it."

"This is a sign of merit, Buddha-nature, compassion, kindness, auspiciousness, perfection, and Buddha-mindedness. It is a very good ornament for us ordinary people. Xiang Nan is like a few family treasures, "Mom, if you like this, I'll give it to you." It can bless you with a lifetime of blessings to your soul. ”

"Mom just said casually, this thing is more suitable for you." To be honest, Miru wasn't interested in any of these things. She prefers the present, the fresh, and the unique to the old.

"Mom, look at this, ancient Egyptian scarab."

"Isn't it the kind of pervasive bug in the movie Mummy?" Meiru stared at them with wide eyes nervously, very afraid that these creepy little ones would suddenly wake up in the blink of an eye.

"yes, what a well-informed mother, you see they have shining bronze armor on the outside of their bodies. In ancient Egypt, when a pharaoh died, his heart would be cut out and replaced with a stone decorated with scarabs......"

"The Egyptians used the scarab beetle as a totem because it rolls the first rays of sunlight and presents the colorful trajectory of life, which is a symbol of the power of creation." Xiang Qiushi, who came up at the top of the stairs at some point, continued.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Why, can't I come?" Qiu Shi had a straight face, he couldn't see whether he was happy or unhappy, he took a figure-eight step, put his hands behind his back, and looked at it in a boxy way. Elegant and majestic.

"I'm very happy that Dad is here. Just a little surprised,"

"Haha, you have a lot of collections here, do you want to have the opportunity to hold a personal collection exhibition?"

"Hee-hee, that's not necessary, these are purely personal hobbies, personal hobbies." Sang-nam was careful to curry favor.

"You know no, wow! Personal hobby, I see that your scale is almost catching up with the provincial museum. ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the rich are not more than three, and the rumors in the society about the rich second generation are not benevolent to the rich, and the rumors of seeking pleasure are like thunder, and he does not want Xiang Nan to become an idle child, so he intends to restrain and discipline. And this Xiangnan likes to do everything with him.

Obviously, he has endured this son for a long time in his heart, and he took advantage of today's opportunity to simply pour out all his ancient brains, so as to relieve the irritability that had accumulated in his heart for a long time. "You tell yourself that you have been studying abroad for all these years, and your mother and I will do everything to you. It's good now, after graduation, people are back, but they don't go home, and their parents don't want it. Indulge in these dead man's stuff all day long. Isn't it too much. He pointed to the things on the shelf next to him that he couldn't look at, and his face turned blue.

"Hey, his dad, his dad, this is just a little hobby of the child, he didn't delay his studies, he didn't delay his studies, don't you see that he has already got his Harvard diploma back." Meiru smiled and showed him the certificate that her son had thrown on the edge of the desk.

In the past 20 years of marriage, she is most afraid that the head of this family will lose his temper, don't look at his gentle and generous appearance on weekdays, if the donkey's temper comes up, he will have to make a big fuss, and he will stop when he is ugly. The son who grew up with one hand is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in order to quell the war as much as possible, Meiru gave her son a look and told him to talk less, and at the same time hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.

"Hmph, as far as he's a master who doesn't do his job all day long, this certificate is probably also mixed up by luck."

"Dad, that's not right. In the United States, there are more than 30 people in our class, and I am the only one who can be recommended by the professor as an honor student. Xiang Nan explained dissatisfied, and didn't understand why his great image of being a phoenix among people and a dragon in the pond in the eyes of others was greatly discounted as soon as he arrived at his father.

"Yes, yes, Akimi, in fact, our son is already very good, but you can't see it. Nan'er, don't let you make your dad angry again, ah, pour some water for your dad, look at the hot day, your dad's face is sweating. Meiru stepped forward again to help, Mingli was towards Qiushi, but in fact, she wanted her son to push the boat down the river to please the old man.

"Dad, sit down." Xiang Nan obediently poured two cups of instant tea and served them to Qiu Shi and Meiru, and he was still a little afraid in the face of his father Xiang Nan.

"Hmm." Xiang Qiushi did it calmly, and he also had the intention to ease the atmosphere, so he deliberately changed the topic and asked: "Xiangnan, you have been abroad for a long time, what real skills have you learned abroad over the years?" Let's hear it. ”

Although he was quiet, his tone was much gentler. Qiu Shi deliberately led the topic to the point, but he didn't expect his son to cause a war as soon as he opened his mouth.

"In addition to completing my studies and obtaining an academic degree, I also used my spare time with my classmates to study the history of the development of world cultural relics. Human beings have been derived for thousands of years, and the folk wisdom and manufacturing level of each era have their own merits, just like my collections, although they look inconspicuous on the outside, each one is precious, representing the development of a period and representing the ......"

Which pot is not opened, Meiru couldn't help but smile and glared at Xiang Nan.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to listen to that." Xiang Qiushi waved his hand impatiently to signal his son to end the topic. "Dad has sent you abroad all these years to let you study, learn skills, and grow knowledge, not to let you go to playthings and lose your mind!" Xiang Qiushi's eyes were furious. As soon as the words fell, Qiu Shi habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket. Happy or unhappy, smoke has become a product of his venting. After touching it, I remembered that I didn't have a cigarette on my body today because of a temporary change in my itinerary.

"Dad, smoke me." Sang-nam immediately took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for his father.

Su Yan. Xiang Qiushi is more satisfied. The son has the same taste as himself, which shows that the preferences of the two are still consistent.

"Xiangnan, let's get straight to the point, I came today for two purposes." Xiang Qiushi took a puff of cigarette and paused and said: "First, let's see if you are used to it after returning to China, and if you need anything in life, call your mother or sister-in-law Wu, all of which are complete." I thought about it, as long as you agree to go to work in the company, Dad will change your car immediately. Here, try to come as little as possible in the future, there have been no people for many years, the air is not circulated, and the aura is not good. Although such a statement is a bit far-fetched, Qiu Shi really wants Xiang Nan's mind to be used on the right path. You say that you are a big man, even if you resign from the mayor's invitation, but you can't be idle like this every day.

Then he said in a half-negotiate, half-commanding tone: "Second, it is to ask for your time to work in the company." I think so, the company is now in a period of transition, the pressure is heavy, the most urgent task at present is that the company is developing a new product for the international market, and a large number of excellent talents are needed, I want you to be the general person in charge of this new product project. You have just returned from the United States and are familiar with the international market, and I am sure you have the ability to do so. I have discussed this matter with several shareholders of the company, and they have agreed that you are in charge of this project and are the most suitable person! ”

As a child grows up, he has his own opinions, and Qiu Shi tries to be tactful as much as possible.

That's the real purpose of this trip. Let's get off the horse first, and then fully affirm Xiangnan's ability. It can also be regarded as a means of negotiation.

Recently, it was discovered that the mother and son were not good at home and always sneakily ran out together, which made Qiu Shi suspicious, if he hadn't deliberately followed Meiru all the way today, he wouldn't have known that his son had 'brilliant results' here.
