Chapter 54: Tea is like life
Nian Chengyi raised his head and laughed, "I'm not a man-eating tiger, why are you so scared every time you see me?" ”
Lin Yun blushed and laughed, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Don't mind Mr. Nian, Gu Ling and I are just joking, just kidding!" ”
"Just kidding?" Nian Chengyi raised his eyebrows, but said regretfully: "That's really a pity, I thought that Miss Lin was also willing to join the big family of Chengxin with our little zero." ”
Lin Yun was anxious when he heard this, and he couldn't care less about being subtle and polite, "If Mr. Nian is willing to accept me, I am very willing to come to Chengxin!" ”
Lin Yun's impatient appearance made Gu Ling cover his mouth and snicker.
"Hahahaha......" Nian Chengyi laughed, "Those two condescending, let's go up and talk again?" ”
Ah Tie stood behind him and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth when he heard Nian Chengyi's laughter.
He has been by Nian Chengyi's side since he graduated from college, and it has been nearly ten years now, and the number of times he has seen him laugh is only a handful, and all after meeting Gu Ling.
Ah Tie has seen it a few times, and he is not so surprised. And others are different, it is difficult for the employees of the company to see Nian Chengyi's face, let alone hear his hearty laughter.
The people passing by didn't dare to breathe, and only secretly looked at this side with their peripheral vision. Their president is a person who exists like a king of Hades, if he lets people die in the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch.
Ah Tie walked in front and pressed the elevator for them, Gu Ling smiled and nodded at him, Ah Tie also nodded and smiled back.
Nian Cheng saw their interaction in his eyes, and entered the elevator with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
After entering the office, Lin Yun's eyes kept rolling in the office, and his mouth couldn't stop exclaiming, "It's so magnificent!" ”
"Miss Gu, Miss Lin, please take a seat. What kind of tea do you want to drink? There are flower teas, black teas, rock teas, and green teas, and if you two want to drink coffee, I'll have them delivered now. Ah Tie asked, pointing to the dazzling array of tea leaves on the tea table.
Gu Ling hurriedly waved his hand, "We don't understand tea, what Uncle Nian usually drinks, let's just follow him!" ”
"Okay." Ah Tie took out a packet of Pu'er from it, "Mr. Nian has always had an upset stomach recently, and the doctor originally told him not to drink tea......
"Ah Tie." Nian Chengyi frowned and narrowed his eyes to interrupt him, "Your words today are a bit too much. ”
"I'm sorry!" Ah Tie said sorry on his lips, but he didn't feel sorry on his buried face.
Gu Ling frowned and snatched the tea bag from Ah Tie's hand, "Ah Tie, since the doctor has explained, then we won't drink tea, right?" ”
"If it's not in the way, Pu'er nourishes the stomach." Nian Chengyi snatched it back from Gu Ling's hand and handed it to Ah Tie.
Nian Chengyi is not good at drinking or smoking, so he has to take a sip of good tea, and if he is allowed to cut off the tea, he would rather die.
"Ah Tie, does Pu'er nourish the stomach?" Gu Ling was still worried, she didn't believe Nian Chengyi's words, and turned her head to ask Ah Tie, who poured the tea leaves into the cup.
Ah Tie nodded slightly, and then poured the boiling water into the cup, and a faint fragrance of tea came to his nose.
Nian Cheng smelled the fragrance of tea, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction, "This tea is good!" ”
Gu Ling and Lin Yun also picked up the teacup and blew it into it before handing it to their lips, and after tasting the next bite, the two of them tightened their brows at the same time, bitter!
"Hahahaha......" Nian Cheng laughed at the sight, "Don't worry, you wait!" ”
Lin Yun pushed the tip of his tongue, and after a while, he said happily: "It's sweet!" ”
Gu Ling also nodded again and again, his eyes shining at Nian Chengyi, "It's really sweet!" ”
"This kind of tea has a nice name, called 'Xigui', it has a strong tea flavor but a soft soup, delicate waterways and accompanied by a strong aftertaste and shengjin...... "Nian Chengyi closed his eyes and introduced them to them, "Just like the life of bitter and sweet, you have to go through all kinds of things before you can understand the truth of life." ”
"Uncle Nian, you understand the reason, but why are you still so unconcerned about your body?" Gu Ling put down the teacup and looked directly at him.
"Ahem." Nian Cheng opened his eyes and coughed lightly twice to resolve the embarrassment, "Uncle Nian will pay attention in the future, he will pay attention!" ”
Gu arrived at zero o'clock, "Uncle Nian, I went to Gu's house just now." ”
Nian Chengyi's face turned cloudy after hearing this, he frowned unhappily, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ling, Uncle Nian doesn't want you to get involved in this matter." ”
Gu Ling understood that he was worried about his safety, but she couldn't live as careless as before.
"Grandma, she's a lot older." Gu Ling said with low eyes, with a little sentimentality in his voice.
As soon as Nian Cheng heard Gu Ling mention Cai Mingfang, he was angry, and got up and walked to the window with a pale face, "Ah Tie, take Miss Lin to visit various departments." ”
"Okay." Ah Tie strode to the door and opened the door.
Lin Yun got up and followed Ah Tie, turned around and said goodbye to Gu Ling, "Then Gu Ling, I'll go out first!" ”
Gu Ling also stood up and nodded to her, and after seeing Lin Yun leave, she walked to Nian Chengyi's side.
"Do you know why she was so adamant about sending your own granddaughter to an orphanage?" Nian Chengyi's voice was filled with hatred and sadness.
Gu Ling bit his lower lip tightly, and nodded with moist eyes.
"After your parents died, your aunt and uncle found a fortune teller to lie to your grandmother in order to monopolize their inheritance, saying that because you were a broom star, she caused the accidental death of her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. If I don't send you away, the entire Gu family will be ruined, and they will all die! Cai Mingfang, a stupid woman, actually believed it! ”
As soon as Nian Chengyi said this, the haze on his face could not be dissipated for a long time, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
Of course, Gu Ling remembered that her aunt beat her with a rolling pin and cursed her for being a broom star, but her grandmother turned a blind eye to her time and time again, allowing her to be beaten and scolded without stopping her.
"It's been two years since I heard the news that I came back from abroad, and when I went to look for you again, I found out that you were adopted by the Mo family." Nian Chengyi regretted it, he raised a hand and put it on Gu Ling's shoulder, "It's hard for you, you have to endure the pain of losing your parents and the abuse of your relatives at a young age." ”
Gu Ling's tears kept rolling in his eyes, and his heart seemed to have thousands of knives inserted. But she didn't want to cry, she took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Because she refused to vent her forbearant emotions, her voice was particularly hoarse, "Uncle Nian, it's all over, and the Mo family is very good to me." ”
"Xiao Ling, the reason why Uncle Nian is telling you this is that I don't want you to fall into painful memories again, let Uncle Nian handle the next thing, okay?"
The distress in Nian Cheng's eyes touched Gu Ling very much, but she couldn't agree to his request.
The reason why she accepted the request of Chengyi to take over Chengxin was not only because of the friendship between her parents and him. What's more, she hopes that one day she can have this qualification, stand in front of the Gu family, and tell them that she is not a broom star!
"Uncle Nian, I don't want to lie to you, I'm ...... I still want to find out the truth for myself. ”
Gu Ling's attitude was very resolute, Nian Chengyi shook his head with a smile and sighed.
"You are exactly the same as your mother, and the decision is that the nine cows can't be pulled back, stubborn!" Although Nian Chengyi was worried, he didn't take her seriously, "But you have a much better temper than hers, she's very fierce!" ”
Nian Cheng was disgusted, but what appeared in his eyes was deep love and longing.
Gu Ling raised the corners of his mouth, showed his big white teeth and asked with a smile, "Is my mother fierce?" ”
"Hmmm! Bad! Your dad and I often quarrel over the company's decision-making issues, and even have to do it several times, guess what she does? Nian Chengyi fell into the memory, with a smile in his eyebrows, "She carried a baseball bat and directly smashed the glass cabinet in the office to shut us up, and your father and I were so scared that we didn't dare to move!" ”
Gu Ling's mind was full of imagining the fierce appearance of the gentle and elegant mother in her impression, "Hehe, it's hard to imagine!" ”
Gu Ling's memories of her parents are very few, all she can remember is that her mother always likes to sit on the balcony and squint in the sun, and put a pot of fragrant flower tea on the table.
And his father always seems to be very busy, so busy that he often can't see people, but he is extremely fond of himself, and takes himself to the amusement park to play and go to the mall to buy toys whenever he is free.
"Xiao Ling, since you have made up your mind to investigate, then I won't stop you. You can check, but you must pay attention to proportion, Ah Tie will follow you during this period. Nian Chengyi gave up persuasion, but he still couldn't rest assured that she would be blind alone.
"But......" Gu Ling wanted to refuse, but closed his mouth under Nian Chengyi's sharp eyes.
"I'll ask him to tell you what I've found so far, and I'll let him follow you, one is to protect you, and the other is to spy on you, so you don't have to feel indebted, once I find out that you've crossed the line, I'll immediately terminate your operation, do you understand?"
This is Nian Chengyi, who is strong and domineering, he has always not allowed others to refute him, and he has been extremely tolerant and tolerant of Gu Ling.
Gu Ling's fingers were picking at the palm of her hand, how fast her heart was beating, how fast she picked it, and the scar on her palm was immediately picked red by her.
"Uncle Nian, thank you."
Gu Ling's thank you contained too much content, and before that, she never thought that she would be together with her parents' friends to talk about their past. She was thankful for someone who was still thinking about them so many years after they were gone.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, then you can't just focus on finding the murderer, since you agreed to take over the company, you have to take action. It's not an easy task, but I'm sure you'll do well with your cleverness. "Nian Chengyi, this is a typical slap in the face and then a candy, which not only talks about the ups and downs of the road, but also gives enough confidence.
Gu Ling could tell that he was comforting himself, could it be that she didn't know how many catties and taels she had?
She had a bitter face, and suddenly regretted it......
And this has not yet begun, and we will only know how difficult the road will be after that.
Ah Tie led her into the office specially prepared for her, pointed to the materials piled up on the entire desk and told her, "Mr. Gu, you can read the documents on the table slowly, they are the resumes of some company introductions and management personnel, and there are also some jobs that you need to deal with." ”
"Ah Tie, don't call me that, just call me Xiao Ling like Uncle Nian!" When Gu Ling heard the words 'Mr. Gu', his face was like being splashed with 100-degree boiling water, and it hurt so much.
Ah Tie is not hypocritical, and his nod should be.
Gu Ling thought about tidying up her mood as soon as possible and starting to work hard, but when a table of work was in front of her, she was so panicked that she didn't want it!
She frowned, stared at the mountains of folders on the table with wide eyes, and scolded Nian Chengyi in her heart.
"Are you sure it's not me?" Gu Ling looked up at the sky and sighed after opening a few documents.
As a veteran enterprise that is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2020, "Chengxin" is involved in more than just the old industry of "Chengxin Magazine", which was founded at the earliest time.
Gu Ling opened the folders one by one, and it was only a matter of a minute or two from calm to crazy, and she realized at this time how terrible what she had promised was......
