225. Take care to keep warm
The so-called five costumes refer to the ancient mourning clothes divided into five types according to the relationship with the deceased, the great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and oneself five generations. Once these five generations are related, they basically belong to the kind of relatives who are far away.
The real power positions of the Huo family are usually held by descendants, but like secretaries, middle and low-level managers, there are many distant relatives who hold them.
Huo Bufan was silent on the surface, but in fact, he was constantly recalling the internal relationship of the family in his heart.
The third uncle's secretary is indeed called Huo Haiqing, but the relationship is very far away. The core of the family has never really regarded such distant relatives as a family.
Regarding Huo Haiqing's private life and family relationships, few people are actually clear.
But such a person can not only be close to the core level of the Huo family, but also be easily bought by outsiders.
Huo Bufan was almost certain that Huo Haiqing must have been bribed, otherwise it would not have been possible to be promoted from secretary to director of the president's office by that impostor.
And the person who has the closest relationship with Huo Haiqing is naturally the third uncle Huo Xiyuan.
Not long ago, Huo Xiyuan also found someone to plot against Huo Bufan, but it didn't work. This also proves from the side that the third uncle has violated the ancestral teachings in some aspects.
If he can violate the ancestral teachings, he can betray the family.
Among the people who murdered him back then, was there a figure of him?
If even a powerful figure like the third uncle can be bought, then how many people in the family will be infiltrated?
Thinking of this, Huo Bufan couldn't help but shudder, it turned out that unconsciously, the family was already in danger to this extent. In the past, he never thought about this, and he only wanted to lead the family to take off.
Now that I am reborn and look at the family from another angle, I find that everything is more complicated than I imagined.
If the real power figures are infiltrated, then it may be more difficult than expected to recover the Huo family.
Because those people will definitely try their best to obstruct him, the key is that these people's status is still very high.
On the other side, seeing Huo Bufan sitting there silently, Huo Jiaming couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, why are you asking this?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask casually, low-level people like us are naturally more curious about wealthy families." Huo Bufan replied.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the money is more than others, and the rest is about the same." Huo Jiaming said indifferently.
In his opinion, the biggest difference between the top of the family and ordinary people is that they have enough confidence and leisure to pretend.
It's hard for ordinary people to have a little taste, because you can't even see a bottle of red wine that sells for hundreds of thousands, let alone taste it yourself. Since you can't see the real thing, how can you put it on?
And the rich are different, they can enjoy everything in this world to the fullest, and the same mouthful of "fucking", in the eyes of others, this is called down-to-earth.
If you say "fuck", it's called unqualified.
Then, Huo Bufan asked a few more questions about the Huo family, and Huo Jiaming could answer most of the questions, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
He has a decent position in the family, but he doesn't care much about family affairs, and it is a little difficult to get enough information from him.
And if she talks too much, Tang Zhongwei will occasionally interrupt.
In this woman's opinion, Huo Bufan's behavior is typical gossip, and the ghost knows if he will use the media to break the news in exchange for money afterwards.
Many family scandals have been exposed in this way.
Tang Zhongwei regarded herself as a member of the Huo family, so naturally she would not let such a thing happen.
Knowing that she valued the Huo family very much, Huo Bufan didn't ask any more, anyway, he had asked everything he should have asked.
Subsequently, they chatted about some other things, most of which Huo Jiaming was interested in.
For example, calligraphy, painting, antique literature and so on.
In ancient times, Huo Jiaming was the kind of very standard gentleman, just like the three treasures of Baylor Ye that were rumored in the past: "Walnuts, wrenches, caged birds." ”
Huo Bufan also knows most of these things, and he plays them better than him.
No matter what Huo Jiaming asks, Huo Bufan can say the truth, but he admires this guy. That is, Tang Zhongwei is sitting here, otherwise, he would like to pull Huo Bufan to worship.
Tang Zhongwei didn't speak much, quietly sipping tea there, and occasionally looked up at Huo Bufan.
Although I don't see much, there is always a little surprise at that glance.
The real ladies will not always stare at a man to watch, but Tang Zhongwei is also surprised that Huo Bufan is well-informed.
There are so many things, he can talk to you about everything, and he can talk to the point, as if he is really good at it.
The same person, Tang Zhongwei has also seen, that is her fiancé.
What surprised her the most was that although these two people looked different, their tone of voice, body language, and even the angle of their smile were so similar.
It wasn't until this moment that Tang Zhongwei finally understood why Huo Jiaming had to pull her on this trip.
The man in front of him is indeed seven or eight points similar to his fiancé, and the only dissimilarities are his appearance and voice.
Thousands of miles apart, how can two people who don't know each other be so similar.
This made Tang Zhongwei sigh very much, the magic of nature.
After about three or four hours, several pots of tea were changed, Huo Bufan looked up at the clock on the wall, and then said: "Let's do this today, I still have to go back to cook, you have to inform me when the overseas branch is done." ”
Huo Jiaming's face was full of unfinished meaning, but he still nodded in response.
It's been a long time since he's talked to a person like this, and although his father can answer the same topic, he always speaks in a tone of lesson. Like Huo Bufan, he always proceeds from reality, chatting vividly and interestingly, which makes people forget to return.
In the past, only the third brother gave him this feeling, but now that there is one more person, Huo Jiaming naturally feels very happy.
"Miss Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's hot in summer, keep warm, goodbye." Huo Bufan got up and said to Tang Zhongwei.
Tang Zhongwei was shaking hands with him, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Huo Jiaming laughed out loud: "Brother Li, you are really interesting, since it is hot in summer, what else is there to keep warm." ”
"Drowned, they always swim, so it's not surprising that you need to stay warm on a hot day." Huo Bufan replied: "Then that's it today, the two of you have a good journey back on the way, goodbye." ”
With that, Huo Bufan left his seat and walked towards the outside of the teahouse.
Looking at his back, Huo Jiaming said happily: "Sister-in-law, I'm not wrong, is this person very similar to the third brother?" ”
After asking this question, but didn't hear an answer, Huo Jiaming turned his head to look, but saw Tang Zhongwei standing there in a daze, as if he was thinking of something.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Huo Jiaming asked.
"Huh? What the? Tang Zhongwei came back to her senses and asked.
"I ask you what you want." Huo Jiaming said.
"Nothing." Tang Zhongwei subconsciously shook her head, but then, she couldn't help but look in the direction Huo Bufan left, and a small wave stirred in her heart.
Summer is hot, pay attention to keeping warm, if you put it on others, it may be just a joke, but for Tang Zhongwei, it is so familiar.
She is naturally prone to sweating, especially at night, when it is a little hotter and sweats profusely. Since she was a child, the quilt she has kicked may be taller than the Himalayas.
Because they grew up with Huo Bufan when they were young, the two also rested in the same bed during their childhood.
Therefore, Huo Bufan is one of the few outsiders who knows about her problem.
Later, when they grew up, although it was impossible for the two to sleep in the same bed because of the difference between men and women, every time she caught a cold, Huo Bufan would still care about whether she kicked the quilt again at night.
Although it is hot in summer, I sweat a lot, and I turn on the air conditioner, and it is easy to catch a cold without a quilt.
This incident has almost become a little secret between the two.
This young man who had never met before suddenly came up with such a sentence, and Tang Zhongwei would naturally think about it.
Does he know about it?
Or is it a joke made purely unintentionally?
Without anyone noticing, Tang Zhongwei already had a little curiosity about Huo Bufan.
And the appearance of curiosity is often a sign of a woman's fall.
Walking out of the teahouse, Huo Bufan looked back at the store, as if he could still see the woman like the sister next door.
