191 Take precautions and get rid of the golden cicada
I drove straight up the mountain, and the old man was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting with the abbot about Zen teachings. In the temple, the old man also likes to dress up as a monk and wear a robe to save attention.
I winked at the old man, and then sat quietly and waited for them to finish. The old man seemed to be intent on whetting my appetite, and the conversation lasted for an hour.
I immediately lost my patience and walked up to his beloved orchid, holding the bud in both hands, and he shouted in panic: "Don't touch it!" It's going to break!
I pinched the edge of the flower with my slender nails, and I said, "It smells so good, or I'll take it home."
The old man was excited, and shouted: "Absolutely not! So, I waited a long time for this orchid to bloom.
I winked at him, and he said to the abbot: My daughter is too naughty, I will stay with her for a while, and then I will go to your meditation room to find you in the evening.
Seeing this, the abbot said a few kind words and said goodbye with a smile. The old man looked at me helplessly, carefully took my hand out from under the orchid, looked at the petal I pinched, and said to me with a smile: "You."
I said, "Don't feel sorry for your orchid yet, hurry back to the house, I have a lot of questions for you."
He smiled and said: No hurry, no hurry.
I'm already in a hurry, I said: Liu Yixi has been sentenced, what else is not in a hurry. Do you think you're a scapegoat, old man, because you know you're guilty?
The old man glared at me and said, "The monks are compassionate, how could I do such a thing?"
I said, "Then what do you say is going on, what is all this?"
The old man took me to the back room, and he said, "I'll take you to meet someone."
I followed him in, and found that there was really a person meditating in his room, and I walked up to him curiously, and I was surprised to find that it was Kaohsiung!
I was stunned, Kaohsiung has been shaved to become a monk, and his face full of horizontal flesh and cloudy eyes don't look like an orthodox monk, and I don't know what to say when I see him for the first time. Why did he suddenly appear next to the old man again? Didn't he think the old man was dead?
Could it be that it was all a ploy? So how long ago did this bureau start? I looked at the two people in front of me and couldn't say anything. Because I found that with my IQ, I could figure it out a little bit, but I still couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that I was looking at him dumbfounded, Kaohsiung got up from the futon, rubbed his sore knees, and Gao Ren motioned for us all to go over and sit down. After sitting down, Gao Ren calmly began to make tea, and soon, the room had a beautiful feeling of tea.
Kaohsiung spoke first, he said: Zhizhi, the past thing is that my uncle treated you badly, I hope you can forgive me.
I haven't forgiven so quickly yet, I need to figure out what everything is about. I said, "Forgive me, we'll talk about it later, and you tell me what all this is all about."
Gao Ren put the brewed tea in front of the two of us, I took a sip of tea, sat and waited for them to speak, Gao Ren said: This matter, it's a long story......
The old man told me that in recent years, with the development of the economy and the impact of global trade on China, new enterprises have sprung up in the city, and it is inevitable for the historical development of new things to replace old things. However, the Gao family has a big business, and there are many problems to be reformed, and the old man and Kaohsiung are both old and have no descendants, so there is really no need to toss.
Therefore, the old man discussed with Kaohsiung whether he should retreat bravely in this torrent, prepare in advance while he has not been dragged down by the industrial chain, and gradually reduce the operating funds of Gao's Group, invest in more immovable industries, and gradually fade out of the market in T City. After the two discussed, they gradually adjusted the Gao Group.
So in the past few years, the performance of the Gao Group has been declining, and the business volume has also been greatly reduced, but the old man and Kaohsiung have quietly used the freed funds to buy large pieces of land across the country for investment.
In the process, two things happened that led to the discord between the brothers. One is that Kaohsiung insisted on marrying Liu Yixi as his wife, which made the old man very annoyed, he did not support Kaohsiung's continuation, because he knew that Liu Yixi, such a young and beautiful daughter, could not be Kaohsiung's good companion in the second half of his life, so he objected to this matter, but Kaohsiung insisted on marrying Liu Yixi as his wife. Another thing is that the old man and I recognized each other, under Liu Yixi's fanning of the flames, Kaohsiung did have a dislike with the old man during that time.
These two things almost made the two brothers separate again and prepare to go their separate ways. But at this time, when Kaohsiung did a physical examination, he was told by the doctor that because of his long-term heavy smoking and alcoholism, which had an impact on his reproductive function, and he also had some other diseases in his body, he was advised to pay attention to his diet and take care of his body from now on.
If Kaohsiung has long been infertile, then where did Liu Yixi's child come from?
Kaohsiung was furious when he thought of this incident, even if he couldn't let go of it until now, he was very indignant when he talked about it, he said: Zhizhi, I married her because I think she looks high and self-clean on the outside, not as playful and noisy as other girls, I didn't expect that she actually cuckolded me secretly!
Kaohsiung said that when he learned about the incident, he found the old man, told the old man about Liu Yixi's cheating, and regretted that he didn't listen to his brother at the beginning, and calmly had the determination to kill her. Under Gao Ren's persuasion, he did not do so. The two brothers thought about the way out after a whole night, and finally made the decision to throw the Gao Group, a mess of foreign powerhouses and middle-class cadres, to Liu Yixi.
Kaohsiung launched a series of investigations into Liu Yixi and found that she and Tao Xiaobin had maintained an ambiguous relationship for many years, and this ambiguity existed during her necklace period with Chenxi, and the two did not break it until she got married. After Kaohsiung knew all this, he was completely dead to Liu Yixi, but after all, he was a person who had experienced the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, and many times he was able to calm down and hide his breath, but at that time, he didn't think about putting Liu Yixi to death.
As a result, when I went home for the Chinese New Year, Liu Yixi actually fanned the flames in front of Kaohsiung again, and secretly bribed the housekeeper's plan to murder the old man. When Liu Yixi told Kaohsiung all these plans, Kaohsiung couldn't tolerate it, but the habit of following his brother's instructions for many years made him endure it and found the old man to discuss.
The old man said: I didn't expect such a young woman to be so vicious in her heart, so we don't plan to be soft on her. So, your uncle and I decided that night to make this woman a scapegoat. Because at that time, a friend of mine in a high-ranking position told me that the development of the Gao family over the years has posed a certain threat to the government, because we own half of the land and real estate in T City, and the government already has the idea of attacking the Gao family.
When I heard all this, my mind suddenly went blank, I didn't expect that there were so many turbulent waves hidden under the calm on the surface, if it wasn't for the old man's wisdom and martial arts to withdraw as soon as possible, then maybe the collapse of the Gao family, even I would be implicated, because even the government had decided to clean up the Gao family. All of this directly changed my IQ.
Kaohsiung said: After discussing with my eldest brother at that time, we started to act according to the results of the discussion. We quietly arranged according to Liu Yixi's plan, but my brother knew in advance that the housekeeper was going to murder him, so he was vigilant and let go every night, sat quietly in the dark and waited for the housekeeper's action, and quickly escaped if there was something wrong.
In order to prevent anyone from knowing that this was a bureau, the old man and Kaohsiung did not reveal half a point to the housekeeper, and also allowed the housekeeper to set fire to murder the old man, in order to play the trick more realistically, so that Liu Yixi completely believed that Kaohsiung was listening to her.
However, the housekeeper called me in a way they hadn't expected. Maybe the housekeeper was moved by compassion after the murder, so he chose to let me know? All this is unknown, the housekeeper has been in contact with Liu Yixi, and no one knows whether Liu Yixi killed people afterwards. In short, the housekeeper has disappeared and has not come out again.
Kaohsiung announced the death of the old man and held a huge funeral for the old man, on the one hand, to divert the attention of the government, and on the other hand, to make Liu Yixi completely relieved. At this time, Kaohsiung declared that he was too sad and unwilling to take power, and handed over the power of the Gao family to Liu Yixi, who would not be suspicious at all. Because during that time, Kaohsiung did have various physical problems, and he really needed to recuperate.
And the old man, out of this troublesome relationship, the whole world thought that he was dead, and no one could hold him accountable for anything. After the old man jumped out, he insisted on taking me out of the game, so he asked Kaohsiung to clear up the relationship between the Gao family and me for the first time, so that I would not be implicated in any future Gao family affairs.
When I heard this, I was immediately moved, and I said: It turns out that you have planned for me, I thought you had never planned anything for me. http://.banfu.*
The old man smiled and said, "Silly girl, because of my disappearance, you rushed back regardless of thousands of miles, and the old man was grateful." It's just that I insist on not telling anyone about this bureau except the two of us. But don't worry, girl, I, as a father, will not give you any less.
Kaohsiung said: Yes, girl, don't worry, I, as an uncle, will also give you a big gift.
I smiled and said, "I don't mean that, I just hope that since we are a family, we should love each other." But old man, you're so clever at chess, I didn't even think that you and your uncle had planned it together. Moreover, the uncle pretended to be so similar, haha.
The three of us laughed, and the old man said: This is called taking precautions, and as a businessman, you must adjust in time when you have a premonition that everything will change, otherwise you will only have a passive ending waiting for you.
I nodded, and I said yes, although this move is perfect, it is really risky, and any mistake in any place will be an irreparable mistake.
They nodded, and we raised each other's teacups for a cup of tea, and then they went on to decrypt for me.
In any case, after staying up for so long, I finally waited for the day when the dawn returned. Everything is basically settled.
