Chapter 2 [The Ambition of the Rich and Handsome]
The spring sun shines through the windows in the large tea room.
Feng Yi looked at the stack of papers in front of him, his face was tense, and drops of sweat slipped down his forehead.
An hour ago, he was a hard-pressed young man who was in trouble because of his partner's betrayal and a huge debt.
And now......
Feng Yi glanced at the old man across the table. From clothing to hair, he is meticulous, like an ancient gentleman, smiling, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth seems to be measured, a little more is too deliberate, and a little less is perfunctory, as if there is only a stack of menus on the table instead of a property transfer agreement worth more than 100 million.
When Feng Yi was in trouble and almost desperate, it was the old man in front of him who appeared in front of him and told him that he had an aunt and grandmother he had never met, who had died not long ago, leaving him a huge inheritance.
As an adult who has just experienced social beating, Feng Yi doesn't believe that pies will fall from the sky, and it appears so coincidentally!
So when he encountered this thing, the first thought in Feng Yi's mind -
Dead liars!
But now, in the face of the property transfer agreement on the table, Feng Yi has actually believed seventy percent in his heart.
Of course, there are also the three lawyers sitting not far away. These three are all very well-known lawyers in the city, and a lot of information about these three can be found by searching on the Internet, and one of them, Feng Yi, has also dealt with him for a short time.
Why not Quanxin?
According to the old housekeeper, Feng Yi's aunt, who had never met before, gave the part left to him directly by the old housekeeper after the division of the property, and then the old housekeeper transferred the property to Feng Yi in batches, without setting a time limit and without asking for a specific amount.
This operation seems to Feng Yi to be very confused.
I can't understand why that aunt gave away the inheritance in this way.
The old butler is so trustworthy? Even better than her children?
If it is the children and grandchildren of my aunt and grandmother, no matter which one comes, it can be understood that everyone is a little related.
But, an old butler?
And the first batch of transfers from this old housekeeper to Fengyi was 100 million. The premise is that Feng Yi has to do one thing - go to the Feng family's ancestral house and write Feng Yi's own name on the family tree.
Let's not talk about the "Feng family's ancestral house" that Feng Yi has never heard of.
"Genealogy"?
Does this kind of thing still exist?
What age is there a genealogy??
But aside from these, just find the ancestral house and write a name to get 100 million, which is too simple, right?
He didn't believe it.
But, a hundred million......
Burdened with debt, he really needs it now.
After a while, Feng Yi's gaze nailed to the paper was lifted with difficulty, and his hanging hands wiped the sweat from his palms on his trouser legs, "...... I'll go to the bathroom first. β
The old man sitting across from him smiled understandingly and nodded slightly, "Please." β
Feng Yi walked out of the tea room stiffly, all his calmness was removed, his breathing was short, he walked quickly into the bathroom and closed the door, rushed to the sink and turned on the faucet, splashed his face with cold water.
The cold water didn't wake him up.
Very good, not a dream.
Feng Yi looked at himself in the mirror.
He hadn't rested for a long time due to days of insomnia and the pressure of debt, and his bloodshot eyes were a little horribly scarlet under emotional stimulation.
After rushing his face again, and after hurriedly drying his hands, Feng Yi took out the mobile phone in his pocket. The more than 10 missed calls shown above are all dunning.
Ignoring those, Feng Yi opened the address book and looked at two of the phone numbers. After leaving the Feng family five years ago, he hadn't dialed these two phone numbers, and hesitantly, he still dialed one of them.
It rang for a long time and no one answered.
Dial the other one, and it breaks off after just two rings.
Not unexpected.
Feng Yi exhaled softly.
People still have to rely on themselves!
Put your phone in your pocket.
I wiped my face with cold water again, tidied it up, and went back to the tea room.
The heated brain cooled down a little, and there was still a slight tremor in the voice when I listened closely, but the speech was not as stumbling as it was just now. When facing the old butler, the smile also becomes natural. In fact, there is still a lot of chaos in the heart, but the face must be stable.
"Sorry for the wait."
"It doesn't matter." The old housekeeper looked at Feng Yi's state at this time, and the smile deepened on his face, "Have you thought about it?" β
"Well, after thinking about it calmly for a while, there are still a lot of doubts. The timing of your appearance is so coincidental, I suspect you did it on purpose. Feng Yi said tentatively.
"No, I originally planned for a one-to-two-year observation period, I have been following you since last month, this is the second month, knowing that you are in a lot of trouble here, so I contacted you in advance." The old butler explained unhurriedly.
Feng Yi didn't know if this was true or not, and asked about the aunt and grandmother he had never met.
The old butler said briefly.
Feng Yi learned that the aunt and grandmother went abroad very early, had children, and mainly developed abroad, but there was also an industry in China, and when the property was divided, Feng Yi was left with a part. After his death, he was also buried abroad, and Feng Yi wanted to worship and go abroad.
More and more, it's gone.
The old butler was reluctant to say more.
"I want to know, the Feng family is a big family, here in China, there are so many brothers and sisters in my generation, why did you choose me?" Feng Yi asked.
The old butler looked at him with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at a milk cat that had just been picked up from the side of the road: "Lady Wind said that you are the most pleasing in appearance. β
Feng Yi touched his awl face.
"She has such a good old eye!"
Growing so big, for the first time, an old man said that he looked pleasing!
I've heard a lot of things like him saying that he looks "indiscriminate and unlucky", and at first glance I was surprised to hear him praise him for his "pleasing appearance".
Feng Yi also thinks that he is handsome enough, there are many awl-faced stars in the entertainment industry, and there are more pointed faces than him, but the elders seem to prefer the traditional "blessing", or a face shape that looks more stable and upright.
But......
It doesn't matter what face I look like, it's all over when I'm handsome!
Feng Yi is not entirely narcissistic.
When he was a freshman, he went to the barber shop to get a haircut, and the store manager personally asked him to cooperate. I often receive invitations to activities from many clubs at school.
When he was a sophomore, he expanded the scope of cooperation to earn himself tuition and house money, and he was asked to take billboard photos of barber shops, photo studios, clothing and accessories stores, and even the largest hot pot restaurant on the commercial street outside the school.
In the second semester of his junior year, he co-opened a small studio, no longer working alone, and saved enough money to own his first apartment. Among ordinary students of the same age, he is considered a winner in life.
The senior was lucky enough to squeeze into an online drama crew and played the role of a "snake spirit" with a small role, but I didn't expect that my luck would be better later! At the beginning of this year, the online drama was broadcast and became a big hit, and he also used that role to brush up on the Internet, which can be regarded as finally stepping on one side of the entertainment industry.
was developing well, his career was in an absolute upward period, and he planned to take advantage of the situation to rush into the entertainment industry to make some money, but he didn't expect to be stabbed at a critical moment - the partner caused a series of accidents, and then ran away with the money.
Feng Yi faced angry partners and huge liquidated damages and various compensation alone.
Therefore, his current situation, which is heavily indebted, really needs this money urgently.
If it weren't for the difficult situation, even if 100 million was in front of him, he would have considered it again. His experience taught him not to be too naΓ―ve, and if he didn't bear it enough, even a pie falling from the sky would crush him to death.
What's the most flattering? So you left him a lot of money?
Who to bluff!
100 million, how big a pit awaits him behind this!
However, knowing that there was a pit, he still had to step on it.
No matter how he complained in his heart, Feng Yi just smiled on his face and continued to ask, "Where is the ancestral home of the Feng family?" Is it the century-old villa in Yangcheng? β
The old butler chuckled, as if he was disdainful of the hundred-year-old villa in Feng Yi's mouth.
"The outskirts of Yangcheng, Xiaofeng Mountain."
Feng Yi said in his heart: I really haven't heard of it.
He was born and raised in Yangcheng, and he did not leave Yangcheng until he left the Feng family at the end of the college entrance examination and came to Yingcheng to go to university, and never went back. Xiao Fengshan also seemed to be a little impressed, but not profound.
However, the ancestral house of the Feng family on Xiaofeng Mountain is the first time I have heard of it.
In front of the old housekeeper, Feng Yi took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant information about Xiaofengshan in Yangcheng, and then fell silent.
I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't expect the challenge to be really difficult.
Xiaofeng Mountain, also known as Snake Mountain by the locals, is especially rich in snakes there.
Seeing those pictures posted on the Internet can give you goosebumps.
Feng Yi hates snakes very much, but what is a snake in order to survive this difficulty?
Besides, most of the snakes in Xiaofeng Mountain are non-poisonous cauliflower snakes, and the isolation zone on Xiaofeng Mountain is also pulled.
"Ancestral house, guarded?" Feng Yi asked.
The old man seemed to be quite satisfied with Feng Yi's reaction, and smiled slightly, "Of course, someone has to take care of it." But don't worry, I've already greeted the guards. β
Feng Yi nodded, in this way, the difficulty is not too big.
"I have to explain, I left the Feng family after the college entrance examination." After a pause, Feng Yi added, "The concept is not compatible. β
The person who broke away from the Feng family ran to the ancestral house of the Feng family to turn over the family tree to add the name, it was a slap in the face, it must be extremely difficult, referring to the situation of the historical drama on TV, Feng Yi had to plan well.
The old housekeeper heard Feng Yi's concerns and said, "You don't have to worry, the genealogy has nothing to do with the Feng family over there, Ms. Feng personally put the genealogy into your Feng family's ancestral mansion back then, and others didn't know about it." β
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows.
That doesn't sound right.
The genealogy placed in the Feng family's ancestral house has nothing to do with "the Feng family over there"?
Does this draw the line?
Feng Yi guessed whether there was any "separation" contradiction between his grandfather and his aunt's generation.
The old butler sitting opposite handed over a zodiac sign to spend money.
Feng Yi was no stranger to this metal coin that looked like a trinket, and he wore one around his neck. Worn from childhood to adulthood.
On one side of the money is the twelve earthly branches and the corresponding zodiac, and on the other side is the Bagua diagram.
In the Feng family, only people born in the Year of the Snake have one such zodiac sign to spend money.
Feng Yi took out the money he was wearing, and saw the money that was originally in the old housekeeper's hand fly out of his hand and stick it with the money he was wearing.
The two coins coincide and the pattern on them rotates.
A layer of golden light flashed, piercing Feng Yi so hard that he couldn't see the pattern on the money.
After a soft click, there was a pause.
Looking at it again, there is no trace of the two round money stacked together, compared with before, the thickness of the money has increased slightly, and the original side of the twelve earthly branches and the zodiac, only the snake pattern that occupies almost the entire side is left!
Feng Yi couldn't control his expression this time, his eyes widened, he took off the money and looked at it front and back, and picked it with his fingers.
Two in one!
"This ...... New technology? Feng Yi held up the money and asked the old housekeeper opposite.
"Old technology." The old butler said, "You also wear it when you go to the ancestral house, it is the key to open the family tree." β
"Keys?"
Feng Yi realized that maybe this "genealogy" was not what he thought.
He hadn't paid attention to the technology sector, and he didn't know what magical technologies were available today. Regardless of whether the new technology is still the old technology, it is Niu X Technology that can shock people.
At least he was shocked.
At the same time, a hundred thousand points of vigilance rose in his heart.
With such powerful technology, things will certainly not be as simple as they are written.
But the agreement was signed. In his current situation, this is the best solution.
After the agreement was signed, the old butler quickly left. Before leaving, he left a mobile phone number so that Feng Yi could contact him if he had something.
After the old housekeeper and the lawyers left, Feng Yi sat alone in the tea room for a while, calming down his emotions before leaving the store, otherwise if his mood fluctuated too much, he would be prone to accidents while driving.
But as soon as he left the store, a cool wind blew, Feng Yi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he remembered one thing.
A slap on the head.
"Forget the most important thing!"
Quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the number he just savedββ
