Chapter 10: Next time

"In short, at that time, I secretly liked He Yuejia, and He Chenxue secretly liked me" While putting down the teacup, Fan Meng said the relationship between the three of them back then, which did not surprise Xingshu, when he saw the letter, Xingshu already knew all this.

I don't know why, Xingshu felt even more panicked in his heart, although his former emotional world was not blank, but relatively simple, once upon a time, he always felt that if he fell in love with a woman, he would identify her in his life, and he must marry her.

This thought was maintained for a period of time and then vanished because of one thing, the young torturer thought that he had seen through everything, and felt that the real fate had not yet come, so he waited without chasing, and finally waited for He Chenxue, when his heart began to be a little impulsive, but he found that he wanted to completely enter He Chenxue's heart, not by walking in slowly, but by breaking in or squeezing in, because in her heart, she had installed Fan Meng many years ago.

It also suddenly occurred to him that maybe this was one of the reasons why Fan Junyi wanted to be with He Chenxue instead of Fan Meng with her, not just because he thought he was sorry for the Xuan family.

"After He Yuejia disappeared, I naturally shifted my focus to He Chenxue, and at that time, Chenxue was also very well-behaved and tried to imitate her sister, I know, she wanted to comfort me in this way, to be honest, I started to be disgusted, I told her, be yourself, but she said, that is herself, and said that she is her sister, and her sister is her." Fan Meng closed his eyes, as if recalling, "I thought it would be like that in the future, until I received the letter, I stayed in the room for several days, and then I began to decide to prepare things and set off for Xiangxi, but before I went, I found an excuse and told my father and the other three first workers that I went to Xiangxi to meet the people of Heyumen and discuss the problem of the source of goods, you know, the jade produced in the north is the precious Xiuyan jade, too expensive things, although the profit in the jade industry is also high, but it is impossible to distribute the goods in large quantities, so, Most of our supplies come from Kannai. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "It turns out that the Heyumen still exists, I thought it was long gone." ”

"You didn't think the Jade Casting Society was gone." Fan Mengdao, "The history of Heyumen is longer than that of the Jade Casting Society, the personnel composition is still complex, and the work is more unscrupulous, it can be said that the current Heyumen is much better than before, but what they do is basically illegal trading, and the number of people is scarce, as far as I know, now the people in the entire Heyumen are less than a hundred, but these hundred people, are experts in the Guannei, they are not like us to manipulate the value of jade, but to counterfeit and old, the annual profit is easily in the tens of millions. ”

Torture said: "The Jade Casting Society came out of the Broken Gold Gate, and the Heyu Gate came out of the Tieyi Gate, which was originally regarded as the so-called famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes, but later it became something." ”

Fan Meng just laughed, waited for a while, and then continued: "I found this excuse, including my father, all the first workers unanimously agreed, so I went on the road, before the road, my father they also negotiated with the people of Heyumen, the other party promised to pick me up in Changsha, to discuss future cooperation matters, this is different from the flying pigeon biography hundreds of years ago, only need a phone call, a few words to know what the general intention of the other party is, my plan is, after negotiating with them, I will inform them that I want to travel, Then I went to look for He Yuejia, but when I went to Changsha, I realized that things were not so simple......"

After getting off the plane in Changsha, Fan Meng knew where the gap between the Casting Jade Society and Heyumen was in Heyumen, and there was a branch and a marketing department under the company. In addition to the jade business, they also invest in real industries, but only in investment, and never get involved in anything that owns a joint-stock company.

In other words, the owners of the Heyumen Gate knew the truth of "don't put your eggs in one basket", so they were cautious and fearless.

"That night, I met the master of the Heyumen, an old but extremely shrewd old man, he came up and took out a lot of real and fake jade for me to appreciate, I knew that it was a test of me, I was in front of everyone, those jade boasted, I was exhausted, but then when I met with him alone, I pointed out the real and fake jade, which made the old man very happy, thinking that I am not a hairy child who has no experience in the world, and knows what to say on what occasion." Fan Meng said with a smile, "I was pleasing him, but I didn't expect that the cooperation he talked about with me was to spread the business to the three eastern provinces, so that we could jointly operate half of the business in the three eastern provinces with them, and divide the profits fifty-fifty." ”

Torture Shu laughed, laughing louder and louder, and after laughing, he said, "The little rascal met the old rascal, it's interesting!" ”

Fan Meng didn't laugh, but said lightly: "You can laugh, because I also wanted to laugh at that time, I think this old man is senile and demented, and he is talking nonsense." But soon I could see from his eyes that this old fellow was serious, and so serious that if we didn't agree, he would swallow it in one gulp, and he wouldn't even spit out the bones! ”

Suddenly, all of a sudden, the torturer felt that the profession he was in was so strange and terrifying, and he had been avoiding related issues all these years, so to speak, when Zheng Cangqiong mentioned these things to him in the past, he would deliberately avoid them, or divert the topic. In his heart, he believes that the market of this industry should not be controlled by a certain person or a certain group, and it needs to be naturally balanced, but unfortunately, in different eras, there will always be such people or organizations who try to control everything, and in the end they have caused terrible consequences.

"And then?" Torture couldn't help but ask, he wanted to know what the outcome would be.

"And then? I said I can't be the master alone, I need to go back and report to the elders, guess what he said? Fan Meng said with a smile, and suddenly grabbed the collar of the torture technique, "He grabbed me like this, approached me, with a smile that could scare me to pee, and whispered in Hunan dialect If you can't handle it, you will do Mo Ziluo?" ”

After speaking, Fan Meng let go of the torture technique, sat down and said, "I was really scared to pee!" I know he'll kill me if I don't promise him! ”

The torture was silent, just picked up the cup and drank tea.

On the other side, in He Fenglei's home, the four first workers sat around the table, but this time they were not at the mahjong table, but at the table, but there were only coffee pots and four cups on the table, as well as a piece of gold inlaid jade belonging to Fan Junyi.

"Xiaofan, what do you mean by this?" Ding Wanan looked at Fan Junyi's piece of gold and jade.

Fan Jun picked up the coffee cup in front of him: "I think it's very interesting, I think back then, when the four of us took the letter of appointment of the bright pupil and got together to swear, we drank tea, and it was Tieguanyin before the Ming Dynasty, wow, it's so expensive, the pot we drank at that time was enough for a family to eat for a year, right?" Now, we've switched to coffee, and we're still drinking Esmeralda, and on the surface, we're improving, right? Although this kind of coffee is expensive, it costs seven or eight hundred and one pounds, right? But is it more expensive than the real pre-Ming Tieguanyin? It's expensive, so for so many years, we're actually going backwards, not progressing. ”

He Fenglei said coldly: "In the end, you still want us to hand over power?" Yes, but the three of us are not responsible for what happens, as for the disciples below who are not convinced, that's another matter. ”

Fan Jun smiled: "We have to return the power to the Xuan family, but who said that Xuan Tong will take the lead himself?" ”

Ai Xingling was stunned: "Fan Junyi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ding Wanan and He Fenglei also stared at Fan Junyi, who drank slowly with a coffee cup, and drank for a long time before putting it down and saying: "Xuan Tong has decided, whether you hand over power or not, he will rewrite a letter of appointment and appoint criminal art as the next first worker, this is the first thing I want to say to you today!" ”

The three of them couldn't say a word, and only after a long time did they glance at each other, as soon as Fan Junyi said this fact, to some extent, he actually followed He Fenglei and Ai Xingling's wishes, in fact, they didn't have this idea at first, until they knew that the torture technique became Fan Junyi's godson, and after they went underground to see Xuan Tong, such an idea was born that was actually not reliable at all, and the root of this idea was that the relationship between He Chenxue and the criminal technique was unusual, if the criminal technique was affirmed by the Xuan family, In addition, if the torture technique becomes the son-in-law of the He family in the future, it will definitely be able to restrain Fan Junyi, who now seems to be a confidant of Xuantong.

However, Fan Junyi directly explained that they only dared to think about it before, but could not put it into practice.

What exactly does Fan Junyi want to do? Is this what he instilled in Hitomi? Or does it mean by Xuan Hitomi herself?

Ding Wanan saw that He Fenglei and his wife did not speak, and immediately understood something, in fact, he was the most stubborn one, he was not willing to hand over the power and let the Xuan family come back, and he was even more unwilling to let the hairy boy of criminal art become the next first worker, because the rumors of criminal art in the industry are too decent, if this kind of decent person becomes the first worker, it will definitely have a significant impact on the casting of jade, and the ghost knows what reforms and revolutions he will make?

"I'm against it!" Ding Wanan raised his hand and said, while raising his hand, he found that He Fenglei and his wife put their own gold inlaid jade on the table, and every time they voted, whoever agreed, took out their own piece of gold inlaid jade.

Ding Wanan looked at He Fenglei and asked knowingly, "Brother He, what do you mean by this?" ”

He Fenglei ignored Ding Wan'an, but pointed at Fan Jun: "Xiao Fan, what you just said, did you mean it, or did Xuan Tong mean it?" ”

"What does it mean?" Fan Junyi said calmly, "Of course, the person was recommended by me, and he personally investigated, Pan Feng's case is part of the investigation, and there is also a part of the investigation, which is what we should work together to deal with at the moment." ”

Ai Xingling immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Heyumen!" As soon as Fan Jun said these three words, the three people in front of him froze, and He Fenglei put down his raised hand for a long time.

In the pawnshop of torture, Fan Meng finally broke the silence again: "At that time, I was so scared that I had to agree to the old immortal, promised him all the conditions, he was very happy, did not embarrass me anymore, and told me that he must find a way to make me the next head of the Jade Casting Society, because only if I am the first worker, what I promised him will count." ”

Hearing this, Xingshu recalled the conditions that Xuan Tong had put forward for him, and he looked at Fan Meng, wondering what Fan Meng would say next, he couldn't guess, and he couldn't infer from what he knew so far.

Fan Meng then shook his head and said: "But, I don't have that qualification, I know very well what kind of person I am, I can't be the first worker, I can't look at the overall situation to consider things, what I have in my heart is just the private feelings of my children, although I have been a child since I was a child, my wish is to become the first worker, my father said, when I was a child, I was smarter than when I was a child, but now I don't have the spirituality I was back then, so let me die this heart, listen to him and the Xuan family, let you become the first worker, I agree." ”

Fan Meng said, looking at the torture technique, and said seriously: "Sincerely." ”

Xingshu smiled and said, "I'm Xianyun Yehe, I'm not interested." ”

"Really?" Fan Meng got up and tidied up his clothes, "Don't answer in such a hurry, my dad has talked to you, and you know what the purpose of recommending you to be the first job is not that we are helping you, but I hope you will help us." ”

The torturer only laughed, not spoke.

Fan Meng said: "If Heyumen really enters the three eastern provinces, not only will something happen to the jade market, but all the transactions in this industry will be involved, so you are not only helping us, but also helping other peers, as well as yourself." ”

"Call the police!" Torture smiled, "The police should have handled this in the first place. ”

Fan Meng smiled: "If you call the police, you can deal with it thoroughly, I will call the police in Changsha, I'm leaving, good night." ”

The torture technique stood there motionless, and just asked, "You haven't told me yet, did you find He Yuejia, and what happened after that?" ”

"It's too late, next time." Fan Meng walked to the door, "I'll tell you next time, leave some suspense." ”

Torture stepped forward and said, "Are you deliberately selling Guanzi?" Or do you know that I'm curious, and that I promised He Chenxue to help her find her sister, so you want to use this in exchange? ”

"Torture, do you think this matter is good for me?" Fan Meng stood at the door and said, "I don't covet the position of the first worker, and I don't want to make any windfalls, at best, I want to protect myself." ”

The torture technique suddenly said: "What about He Chenxue?" Do you like her at all? ”

Fan Meng raised his hand and pointed to his watch: "It's too late, next time, I'll tell you next time!" ”

Fan Meng left, Xingshu stood at the door, standing in the extremely silent corridor of the antique city, I don't know how long he stood before he pulled the shutter door, closed the door, and sat down, but found that he didn't know when, Fan Meng left the letter from He Yuejia that year.

Torture sat there, took the letter, lit a cigarette, and read it again from beginning to end......

Fan Meng drove home, picked up He Chenxue, who was sitting in the living room who didn't sleep at all, and the first thing he said was: "It's almost, their meeting should be over, I can send you back." ”

He Chenxue nodded and got up: "Before you, did you go to the torture technique?" ”

"Yes." Fan Meng responded happily, "He is similar to what you said, he is very shrewd, and he can quickly find out the key points of the matter, but I still can't see that he is a person worthy of your life, so I hope you will consider my proposal." ”

He Chenxue didn't say anything, but just asked, "What about my sister?" You haven't said my sister's whereabouts yet. ”

Fan Meng walked towards the door: "It's too late, next time." ”

He Chenxue looked at Fan Meng at the door: "Did she have an accident?" Why don't you tell me? ”

Fan Meng smiled and pointed to his watch: "It's too late, next time, you've been hiding in my house for so long, it's time to go back, besides, being alone in the same room will make people gossip, if you let the torture misunderstand what I did to you, things will become more complicated." ”

At this moment, He Chenxue saw the shadow of torture from Fan Meng, the same calmness, the same smile, and the same tone.

She got up, walked to the door, went out to get in the car, and let Fan Meng carry her home.

At the dining table in He Fenglei's house, the other three were collectively silent after listening to what Fan Junyi said, and Ding Wanan, who originally insisted on his opinion, did not say anything anymore.

"Do you know why Heyumen hasn't broken into the three eastern provinces over the years? The reason is very simple, we are not without capable people in the three eastern provinces! Fan Junyi played with his pipe and tobacco again, "Don't forget, Zheng Cangqiong, the master of torture, is not a character to be messed with, everyone knows that as long as Zheng Cangqiong waives his arms, which one of the people on this road will not sell his face?" Not to mention, his reputation in the country, although we have no friendship with him in the Jade Casting Association, but after he collected the mountain that year, he said a word, saying that he wanted to take good care of his body in the Northeast and needed to be quiet, just a sentence, how many years has this industry been stable without any major incidents? Because everyone knows that whoever makes trouble, makes a big fuss, and makes Zheng Cangqiong unhappy, then this life will be over. ”

The three of them were still silent, and even the grumpy He Fenglei became like a docile kitten, and he only heard the words "Zheng Cangqiong" and didn't see anyone.

Fan Junyi filled in the cigarette: "Therefore, it is good for everyone to do the first job of the next penalty, even if it is to let the peers of the whole Northeast vote, I think, no one will object!" ”

As soon as Fan Jun finished saying this, the door opened, followed by the sound of changing shoes and footsteps, and then Fan Meng led He Chenxue to appear in front of the restaurant, and the four of them raised their eyes to look at the two of them, how many years ago, when the four of them saw Fan Meng and He Chenxue standing together, they would say something similar to "Golden Boy and Jade Girl", but now, I don't know what affected what, making them feel that these two people are together, no matter how they look at it, it is not coordinated.

"Dad, Mom, two uncles, I'm sleepy, I'll go up and sleep first, good night." He Chenxue opened her mouth and said that one person slowly went upstairs, the others just nodded, and no one made a sound, until they heard the sound of the door closing on the second floor, and then they turned their eyes to Fan Meng.

Fan Junyi pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit." ”

Fan Meng sat down, picked up his father's coffee cup, touched it and said, "It's cold, why don't you add some ice cubes and drink iced coffee?" ”

Ai Xingling immediately said, "I'll go and make a new pot." ”

When Ai Xingling picked up the coffee pot, Fan Junyi asked, "What do you say about torture?" ”

Ai Xingling heard Fan Jun's question, and immediately turned to look at Fan Meng.

Fan Meng lit a cigarette and glanced at the four people in front of him: "He said, it's too late, I'll tell you next time." ”

After speaking, Fan Meng showed an inscrutable smile
