Of course, after Ling Bo came back, he saw that this piece of land had been converted into a commercial development zone by Lu Changtian, and he was making huge profits every year. How could it not be angry.

Although he did give this piece of land to Lu Changtian back then, he was forced by him to have no choice but to let go!

However, now, seeing the transformation and development of this place beyond recognition, a nameless fire ignited in his heart.

After returning abroad, he began to find ways to broaden the development space and direction of his company, wanting to earn more money, and then let his strength accumulate to compete with Lu Changtian!

But God does not fulfill people's wishes, he has a lot of energy, but the reality is really cruel, and the business in these years is no longer as good as in previous years.

In the past, one person enjoyed a bowl of porridge alone, but now a group of people share a piece of the pie, naturally, there will not be so many benefits to speak of.

Slowly, as time went by, he was getting older day by day, and he began to lose some of his strength.

He began to feel that maybe there was no way for him to stand in front of Lu Changtian in this life, and pointed at his nose and scolded him......

Until Uncle Liu found him, he thought so.

On the day Uncle Liu came to see him, New York was extremely cold, snowing, and because the temperature was too low, the road was frozen in some places.

The car with snow chains walked slowly on the road, and from time to time it made a very piercing sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground.

The streets of New York are cold, but they still can't stop the flow of people.

Blondes, white-toothed blacks, or hippies singing in the streets, each with a different expression on their faces.

Some people are in a hurry, as if there are 100,000 urgent things ahead.

Some people hold a glass of Starbucks in one hand and pull out an urgent mobile phone with the other.

Uncle Liu looked at the people coming and going with a lonely expression, wrapped his leather jacket, lowered the brim of his hat, and followed the flow of people through the traffic light at the intersection in front of him.

He remembered that the address that Ling Bo gave him was in this place, but this was what happened when they were on the phone five years ago, and then they barely talked to each other, and Uncle Liu later changed his mobile phone number.

He didn't think that he would have any connection with Ling Bo.

In Uncle Liu's eyes. Ling Bo and he should not be all the way in the future.

Ling Bo had already left Lu Changtian's side. And he is still in MJ as Lu Changtian's right-hand man, and the two should never intersect in the future.

How could he have thought that when he was about to retire, Lu Changtian and Lu Chen gave him such a gift.

In his eyes, although he made some small mistakes, his sin did not lead to death, right? Why did you make his later life so miserable?

He just felt that the two grandchildren of the Lu family were crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Thoughts pulled back, and he stood in front of a building. The building doesn't look old, but it's not very new either.

It seems that there are some years, but it doesn't seem to be many years.

He looked and hesitantly walked inside.

As soon as he walked into the lobby of the building, he saw a black guard at the door walking towards him!

“Hey！ Chinese man？ hat are you doing here ？ He asked in English.

Uncle Liu was also a student who graduated from a famous university back then, and he still understood some English, not to mention such a simple one, he could understand it completely.

Uncle Liu said in a non-standard colloquial language that he had come here to find a Chinese friend, and that he had opened a company here.

Then, he said the name of Ling Bo's company, and the black man immediately understood, pointed to the elevator and told Uncle Liu that he would take the elevator to the tenth floor, then go down and turn right, and the company he saw was Ling Bo's company.

Uncle Liu got on and off the elevator according to the black man's instructions, and sure enough, after turning right, he saw Ling Bo's company.

Unlike what he had imagined, Ling Bo's company didn't look very dynamic, and even a little ...... Decline.

This is a company that does counterpart trade, a few years ago, this line of work was still good, but later after the Sino-US trade war started, it was not so easy to do.

The merchant profession is most influenced by the relationship between countries and countries. Whenever there is something going on, most of the people affected are businessmen.

Take the incident in the island country as an example, many Japanese cars were unsalable in China.

There are also many Chinese people who take to the streets to openly boycott Japanese cars, and some people are even more extreme, directly choosing to smash those Japanese-made cars on the street.

At that time, there were many businessmen in Japan who complained bitterly, but what could they do, the contradictions between countries, ordinary people could not be direct participants in politics, they could only choose to use ordinary and capable ways to express their love for this country and disgust with those countries that invaded China.

Ling Bo's company has not experienced a booming time, and when the relationship between China and the United States was still relatively harmonious, Ling Bo also made a small profit.

But for him, if he wants to rely on this money to defeat Lu Changtian, it is simply a fantasy.

He took the money and reinvested it in his new round of business operations, and when he was eager for quick success and quick profit and eager to pursue results, he did not keep a cool head, and it happened to encounter the freezing point of Sino-US relations. 90% of his money was wasted and lost.

If you want to say what he is relying on to maintain the company now, it should be said that it is the half of the money that Lu Changtian gave him back then.

Uncle Liu stood at the door of Ling Bo's company and looked inside, he saw that there were about a dozen people in this small and small company, and he could see that there was a room in the innermost room, which was probably Lin Bo's office, he pushed open the glass door and walked in, and a young lady at the front desk immediately stood up and asked him: "Hello sir, do you have anything to do?" ”

Uncle Liu smiled at her and said, "I'll find your boss and tell him that his old friend is here." ”

The young lady smiled awkwardly, got up and walked to Limber's office to report, and after a while, she returned, smiled at him, and said, "Hello sir, our boss is in the office now, you can go directly to him." ”

Uncle Liu nodded at her, and then walked towards Uncle Ling's office, he knocked on the door, and Uncle Ling's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

It seems to be the same as back then, but there is a little more vicissitudes and exhaustion in the voice.

This vicissitudes and exhaustion seem to be the preserve of middle-aged people.

When you reach middle age, you may not feel that your voice has changed, but if you let outsiders hear it, you will still feel a little different.

Uncle Liu pushed the door and went in, and when he saw him walk in, Uncle Ling was stunned for a long time, and then called tentatively: "Old ...... Lao Liu? ”

Uncle Liu nodded and responded, "It's me, Lao Liu." ”

Ling Bo walked over and took his hand: "Oh, Lao Liu, how many years haven't we seen each other?!" It's going to be five or six years, right? ”

Uncle Liu nodded, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, after all, he took the initiative to cut off contact with Uncle Ling at that time.

After changing the new mobile phone number, he didn't tell Ling Bo again.

thought that the two would not need to contact each other from now on.

But I didn't expect to meet awkwardly in a foreign country in such a way at this age.

But what he didn't expect was that Ling Bo didn't seem to feel a little embarrassed, he was very enthusiastic, just thinking that he had met a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Uncle Ling's enthusiasm and excitement made Uncle Liu feel even more sorry for him.

"Sit, sit down, Lao Liu! I've got some good tea here, I'll make you a cup and you can taste it. I remember you loved to drink Da Hong Pao back then, right? It just so happens that I asked someone to bring it to me two days ago, try it? Ling Bo said as he turned around and went to the cabinet to look for tea.

Uncle Liu sat down and looked at Lin Bo's busy figure.

Not long after, a pot of tea appeared on the tea table, Ling Bo brought the tea to him, pointed to the cup, and said enthusiastically: "Drink, Lao Liu, taste it." ”

Uncle Liu took a sip of tea and said, "Good tea!" ”

"What's the matter, what's the matter, how can you, a busy man, have time to think of me, and you can find me?" Drinking tea, Ling Bo glanced at him and asked with a smile.

Uncle Liu put down the tea bowl in his hand, his expression sank, he stood up, bowed to Uncle Ling, and then said in a low voice: "Lao Lin, I couldn't stand with you back then, I haven't been in touch for so many years, it's my brother who hasn't done enough, I'm here to apologize to you." ”

Ling Bo waved his hand: "What apologize and don't apologize?" Why did your brother say this, you didn't do anything wrong, it's a good thing that you can mix well with him, it's okay, people, isn't life just to eat. Where is there any right or wrong, they are all old, not to mention these. ”

Uncle Liu sat down, looked around, sighed, and said, "Lao Ling, your business is not booming!" ”

Ling Bo also sighed and said with a wry smile: "Now when Sino-US relations are tense, my business is not difficult to do, or there is no business at all, but it can still get by." Some of our old customers we have private contact, you know. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about it, why did you suddenly come to the United States? ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Liu's face showed an embarrassed expression: "Hey, I'm also a lost dog now, I'm alive, alive, half of my body is buried in the soil, and I was actually rectified by a yellow-haired boy." ”

When Ling Bo heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh? You Lao Liu is so sleek, so good at being a man, will be cleaned up by the yellow-haired boy? What kind of person can play you Lao Liu, you don't know yet. ”

Uncle Liu waved his hand and said: "You are wrong, we are all old these years, where can we play with those young people, let me tell you, I came to you this time just to join forces with you to frustrate the spirit of that kid of the Lu family." ”

"That kid from the Lu family? You mean Lu Chen? Ling Bo asked rhetorically.
