After Mingyanghong asked about work, he found that there was nothing to talk about with Mingke.

He didn't know Mingke's colleagues and friends.

is very familiar with Mingke's mother, but this person is something that Mingyanghong must not mention in front of Mingke, otherwise the relationship between the two will only be worse.

He thought about it and finally set his eyes on Amy.

Amy is very important to Mingke, and he happened to hear her negotiating with Pei Changming, and he has some new and deeper understanding of her.

As Mingke's girlfriend, she is too personal to talk about inappropriately, but things at work are absolutely fine.

Mingyanghong straightened out his thoughts, took a sip of tea, and said to Amy:

"I heard an old friend mention that you are in the private drink business and have invested in a clothing company?"

"It's all petty fighting."

Amy's attitude is not too repulsive if she doesn't take the initiative to get close, and she has a sense of polite alienation when she unites with Mingke.

"I happen to have someone I know who makes clothes, and he's doing a good job, so it should be a little helpful to have someone give you a business card later. And that drink business, it's okay to make a small fuss, don't think about making it big like your soda factory. If you really want to do it, it is better to find a joint venture with an overseas company. ”

As the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid, although Ming Yanghong is not as aware of the development of later generations as Amy, he also has qualities that ordinary people do not have.

Keen.

This advantage allows him to predict the change of the big picture in the future from a small amount of turmoil.

For example, what he is talking about now is Sino-foreign joint ventures.

When Amy was governor, the eight major soda factories that are now competing in China have all disappeared.

At that time, she was young and had no concept of these things, and she didn't pay attention to what domestic drinks experienced in the 80s and 90s.

But from the results, Amy knew that what happened in the middle was definitely not a good thing.

Now that Ming Yanghong has a little more "Sino-foreign joint venture", the originally vague speculation in her mind has become clearer.

The domestic market is booming, and that's a good thing.

But when the country opens, in the eyes of other capitals, the mainland market is a big fat meat that no one occupies, and everyone wants to tear off a piece of meat from it and put it in their own bowl.

Amy's mood instantly became heavy.

"Is there no other way but a joint venture?"

In a word, this meeting has completely changed from an embarrassing father-son situation that has not been seen for more than 20 years to a high-level business exchange meeting.

Even Mingke's attitude has changed.

"In fact, if three of the eight major factories are willing to join forces, this dilemma can be solved."

Ming Yanghong didn't expect that Ming Ke would be willing to take the initiative to express his opinion, so he couldn't help but use a little more attention to this remark that was just thrown out casually just to have something to say at the beginning.

"Theoretically, yes, but in fact, let alone the tripartite team, it seems that in the current situation, they will not be willing to do it by two or two. Amy, who works in a soda factory, should know this better. ”

With the lessons of getting along before, Ming Yanghong did not rely on his high social status and rich experience to put on a posture of pointing the country everywhere, but took the initiative to throw the topic to someone who could answer it.

"Well, at present, several soda factories regard each other as competitors or even enemies, and sometimes use some special means to suppress other companies, and even have vicious competition to continuously reduce prices in order to compete for the market. In this situation, everyone will not be willing to cooperate, even if they are willing on the surface and then really cooperate, in fact, there will be infighting, and when the time comes, others will still be allowed to reap the benefits. ”

Mingke nodded slightly based on some of the business information he had received from Gong Da.

"Now is indeed not a good time to invest in beverage factories, even if it seems that the profits of several major factories are very amazing, and when foreign capital enters the market, it will be crushed in an instant. However, Xiaomi's business should be fine, she is doing a chain model, and it is a fresh drink, and the income is only very high for ordinary people, but there is no predatory meaning for big capital. Not to mention the clothing company, we are taking the path of haute couture design, and not everyone can imitate it. The mid-range clothing is backed by the huge domestic labor productivity, which cannot be defeated by outsiders casually. ”

Ming Yanghong looked at Ming Ke in a little surprise.

"You know that?"

He thought that Mingke was just a good brain in learning, and he was a scholar-type talent who was dedicated to studying.

"My mother and I both made some investments and learned about it casually."

Mingke took the initiative to mention Qi Yingyue, which made Mingyanghong's heart tremble.

He and Qi Yingyue can't say that they don't have any feelings at all, but at that time, it was more or less a family marriage, and it was impossible to say how deep the relationship really was.

Ming Yanghong's hand holding the cup was only slightly nervous, and then he calmly asked:

"Is your mother okay now?"

"She's fine, she went back to the school where she used to be a teacher, and she usually paints at home for a while, or learns to make clothes with Xiaomi's grandmother."

"Draw......

Ming Yanghong lowered his head slightly, looking at the light cyan tea in his hand, with an uncertain expression.

"She has always loved to draw and studied with a very good teacher for a while. She is gifted and a quick learner. ”

When Ming Yanghong said this, he felt that the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of old dust.

It was a long, long time ago, as if it had happened in the last century.

"Well, not now, my hands will tremble and I won't be able to hold the brush. She asked me to say hello to you, so that you can make more sure of your body, don't sleep so late at night, it's not good for your health, and don't smoke so much all the time. ”

The advice between the lines made Ming Yanghong think of the days when the two of them were together.

They all had to go to work at that time, and she would say that every time before going to bed.

The cyan color inside the teacup rippled, and Ming Yanghong looked at them before realizing that his hands were trembling.

He put down his teacup and crossed his hands casually in front of him.

"When she is old, she can't stay up late and can't smoke, so she can rest assured. She must be blaming me, right? ”

Mingke took another sip of tea.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Mingyang Hong smiled:

"Have you heard less lies in this life, of course I want to hear the truth."

"She doesn't blame you."

Mingke's tone was slightly cool.

When the corners of Ming Yanghong's mouth were halfway curved, he said the second half of the sentence-

"She hates you."

It's no wonder, it's not because there is no emotion, but because this word is too light to express the pain in Qi Yingyue's heart.

Qi Yingyue once loved Ming Yanghong very much.

Now, the hatred is also real.

Mingke's words were very light, like walking on the most prosperous and fashionable street in Hong Kong City, a girl who had applied perfume walked by, and the fragrance left on the tip of her nose was fleeting.

Ming Yanghong sat on the soft sofa in the hotel, but felt a pain all over his body.

After a moment of silence, he exhaled.

"She should hate, if she doesn't hate, it's not the person I know. I am not in any position to ask for forgiveness, only to do something to make amends. ”

"Nothing can be done."

Mingke replied quickly, but his tone was very slow, as flat as boiled water, and he didn't taste it.

"Don't try to give her anything, let yourself lie to yourself that you have already made it up, and you don't have to owe it again. You should owe her all your life, and you still owe her until the grave, and you can never pay it off. ”

Anything can be discussed, but this is not the case.

Mingke is very clear, even if he has a little strange father-son relationship with Mingyanghong now.

"Yes......"

Mingyang Hong's gentlemanly hand in front of him hung down.

"I owe her all my life, and I can't pay it back."

No matter how many excuses there are, it is useless.

His abandonment of his wife and children is the truth, not an apocryphal fabrication, not a dream, and not a rumor spread by competitors.

Abandoning them in the first place is equivalent to handing over their lives to the unknown.

He should feel guilty and remorseful for the rest of his life.

This truth was only figured out after Ming Yanghong arrived in Hong Kong City.

In other words, it was not until Mingke clearly said Qi Yingyue's feelings that he finally figured it out.

"But you have to give what you should give, it's your responsibility."

Mingke didn't think about just saying a few words to him.

When Ming Yanghong went abroad, he took almost all the family's property, and some of it belonged to Qi Yingyue.

"Yes, of course it should be given."

"This is my mother's, not something you use to atone for your sins, don't feel a little better because of this, and don't think that these things can make up for it."

Amy noticed that Mingke was getting emotional.

She patted his hand gently.

She's in.

A hint of warmth came from Mingke's cold hands, pulling his emotions back a little bit.

He took a light breath, lowered his head and took another sip of tea, not looking at Ming Yanghong.

Ming Yanghong has always been a very proud person, and he does have proud capital.

No one dared to be angry with him for many years, and no one dared to speak to him in this tone.

But on the opposite side is Mingke.

He is the one to whom he does owe something.

Ming Yanghong's pride did not allow him to bow his head and apologize, and the gesture he made just now was already his lowest bottom line.

He quickly collected his emotions as if he had been forced to leave the country.

"I will convert the things into prices and let Wu Xinli pay to your mother's account, I have not raised you over the years, and I will give you a copy of the child support according to Mingyue's standards. If you get married in the future and don't want to invite me, I will also take the money that my father should give you. ”

This is said very officially, as if it is deliberately dissociating the relationship between the two people.

If Amy hadn't noticed his unnatural expression, she would probably have thought the same way.

Mingke hadn't looked at him from the beginning to the present, so naturally he couldn't find it.

Amy knew that if Mingke believed these words, the little goodwill that had just risen in her heart would disappear immediately.

She had to interrupt the conversation between the two arguing about love and killing.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ming, we have some things to do next, so let's get here here for the time being."

When she said this, it was better than Mingke slamming the door and leaving later.

Mingke didn't hesitate after she spoke, just took the things and left.

In the hall, only Ming Yanghong was left alone, and there was a security guard who didn't look at his face and wanted to come up and set up.

"Mr. Ming, I am the security guard of this hotel, you ......"

"You're not now."
